MH44 Governor Adjustment

Gentlemen,
I have a '48 Massey Harris 44K that has the early governor control cable system. My difficulty is adjusting the cable from the control on the steering column to the spring on the bottom of the control arm, then from the top arm of the governor to the carburetor throttle butterfly. It is basically a cable inside a conduit from where the lever actuates it to the spring at the lower governor arm. I tried to dial it in and can't get it even close. I can't find anything in my shop manual that even resembles my setup, much less how to adjust it. I'll post photos this evening when I get back from town. Anyone even know the setup I'm talking about? Thanks for any assistance, have a Blessed Day.

I have a 44-6 with the cable system, and did have a 44-4 with it to but it's been sold. Had to take the four system apart as it was so dry and dusty it would barely move. After cleaning it up inside it worked, but not sure how long when it gets dusty inside again, probably why the system was changed on later models.
