I have it all broke down and everything taken off except the governor. I have both the IT manual and the parts book and can't figure out what screws I need to remove to get it to slide out. when I try to force it a little it acts like it is being held on my some sort of spring action. Anyway which bolts do I take off to get the governor off if that is the next course of action I need to take? Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

Just keep working it around and it will come out. I had one on a 49 A do the same thing. Dave   [Reply]  [No Email]

I did remove the two bolts on front of the fanshaft to be able to lift it up. You are probably right about the rust. The reason I took off the radiator and water piping is that I probably have about 3 lbs of rust inside it as well. I will keep working at it. Thanks   [Reply]  [No Email]

The governor is on dowel pins and needs to come straight up. The fan shaft and governor should both come off together. I'd check the timing marks too before you take it off.   [Reply]  [No Email]

They get pretty stuck after all those years, but a little screwdriver should pop that right off.   [Reply]  [No Email]
