The curve upward in yours seems to be the deal breaker as I've never seen that, only ones I've seen, the oil galley behind the gauge ends with a tapered hole sort of like a funnel, NOT the standard cast or even drilled blind hole bottom, and at the apex of the funnel is the teeny oiling hole. They plug up with crud only because they are so small to begin with and do need roto-rooting every decade or so in my opinion. Full shop air pressure on the oil gauge fitting for a good long while might be enough to blow it clear - it's usually very soft goo in the hole. After several minutes of 100 PSI and no pop, hiss, you might try to screw a grease gun hose onto the 1/8 NPT pipe threads at the oil gauge fitting and pump away at a goodly rate in hopes of pushing the crud out of the hole if air pressure isn't enough. Flush the grease out with air pressure, then run it a while and see if there is any improvement? Otherwise, it's got to come apart. At least the governor shaft has to come out so you can go in that hole with mirrors and good reflected sunlight to see if you can find where it comes out at and attack it from the front side. IIRC, if one can drop the governor lever rod downward you can fish the gear past it and get the whole shaft out that way, not much fun putting it back in there either, but it sure beats pulling the steering shaft, fuel tank, fan shaft or the radiator approach and then the governor case itself. Once you find the hole at the top of the upward curved section cast into your case, you might consider drilling your own custom access hole to it and plug it with a pipe plug? Might get lucky just questimating and drill to it if that seems more doable than the removing governor shaft approach to you. Paint the pipe plug green and maybe nobody will notice it?

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
