Is the repair straight forward to do? Replaced gears in my 730 diesel. I would guess the gassers would be a similar job. I had to pull the governor shaft out of the housing to replace the drive gear on the shaft. It would be wise to replace both gears. Not a good idea to mesh 1 new gear with 1 old one.

Then I reattach the cable and start the tractor the tach needle is jumping all over [Reply]  [No Email]

I believe it's possible to do the job just by removing the welsh plug on the governor housing and the tach drive assembly that the cable attaches to. It will be tight, but I think you might be able to remove the snap ring and spring on the end of the governor shaft and ultimately remove the old drive gear and install the new one without removing the governor shaft...although you're going to run the risk of dropping small parts into the crankcase.
