Governor needs rebuilding

The governor on my 9N needs rebuilding. It leaks badly and no idle anymore unless I manually push up on the rod to the governor to get it back in the shed.

Would I be better off buying from here the Governor Centrifugal Assbly for $154.99 or the Governor Repair Kit for $173.53. The first one is a complete assembly and the second one is a parts rebuild kit.

Any one have any experience with either?
 
To me that would be a no brainier the complete assembly for $20 less makes sense
 
If it were me I would rather rebuild an old original one (been there done that) than get a brand-new aftermarket one, quality (or lack thereof) being what it is these days.
Haven't looked at the rebuild kit, but that sounds excessive. Maybe you don't need ALL that stuff, just the ball bearings are CHEAP.
I have also had good luck with Wengers of PA, but they're currently showing a used one for $150 but out of stock, and a new after market one for something like $190.
 
Ah but is it a rebuilt one or an aftermarket one he dose not say. Ya if after market go with the kit if it is a rebuild one go with the rebuild
 
Take yours apart and inspect the parts for wear. Then just buy what you need. Looks to me like the expensive repair kit may include the housing, all the parts inside are pretty cheap. Don't buy what you don't need.
If it leaks a lot, maybe it was over-tightened and the mating surface got warped (common). That can sometimes be sanded out.
 
The kit is just the guts, not the housing. You need to assemble all the internal parts provide and drop that into your old housing. The assembly is the guts preassembled that you drop into your old housing.

Maybe the cheapest would be tear the old one apart and look and see what needs to be replaced.
 
Google "ford 8n tractor overhauls - governor" by Don Steward, excellent instructions.
9N can't be that much different.
