Linkage seems to all work fine when tractor is not running, but doesn't respond well when running.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The reason I believe the governor is bad is because it is revving way too high(which the governor should keep it from doing, as that is its purpose). This is what led to my diagnosis.   [Reply]  [No Email]

There are no oil lines in the head. Coolant maybe? Wire brush it off & see what it is. Bubbles in the radiator? I'd still check the compression before I pulled the head. And look for "steam-cleaned" plugs. As to the governor being the cause......well, just because I've never seen or heard of something like that.....and my weak mind just can't make the connection......doesn't mean it wasn't the cause. Before you drop $200+ on a new governor, make 100% sure the linkage is connected correctly. Then, start the tractor & hold the governor to carb linkage if it starts to over-rev. 50 Tips   [Reply]  [No Email]

What makes you think it blew a head gasket & that the over revving was caused by the governor itself? In other words, tell us your troubleshooting steps that led to those conclusions. Which, FWIW, makes not a bit of sense to me. 50 Tips   [Reply]  [No Email]
