...I'll tell you. But if the governor isn't working right, you will be wasting time. Worse; if the clevis is properly adjusted on the throttle rod, and you mess with the adjustments NOW, you will screw them up and have to reset them when the governor is restored to correct operation. (Fortunately this doesn't take too long.) Don't take my word for it; the IT manual contains the following warning, printed in italics FOR EMPHASIS! "Before attempting any governor adjustments, check the linkage for binding condition or lost motion and correct any undesirable conditions." Lack of resistance is the most undesirable governor condition of all! The governer works by conservation of momentum. No resistance, no conservation! So, once more, PLEASE grab the throttle rod coming from the carburetor with the engine off and work it through its range. You should feel very, very little resistance. Now, start the engine. Grab the throttle rod again and try to rev the engine. You should feel greatly increased resistance. If this resistance is not present attempting to adjust the governor is a waste of time. I cannot emphasize this enough. AFTER you have determined the governor is operating properly, shut the engine down. Move the speed control lever all the way to the high end of it's range. Remove the pin from the clevis. Now, hold the throttle rod and the rockshaft arm (the other piece of the assembly the pin hold the clevis onto) as far forward as they go. The pins should slide easily home. If not, turn the clevis on the threaded part of the rod until they do. (If I ever bet, which I don't I would bet fifty dollars that they will. Because I think the governor IS properly adjusted.) Now, to set the high speed idle: simply adjust the hex screw coming out of the top of the housing. That's all there is to it. But please, please, PLEASE, if you haven't done it, check the governor for proper resistance to motion before you do.

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
