Defndr---for starters, long linkage rod goes to long governor arm, short linkage rod from carb to short arm of governor....long to long, short to short.
First, unhook the LONG linkage rod at one end, place your throttle arm in the "idle" position. Now adjust the LONG linkage rod so that it just fits snuggly between the throttle linkage and the governor arm. Low rpm is now set.
I assume you have a late model 8N with tachometer/hour meter as you seem to know what the rpms are.
Look at your governor, there is a "stop nut" at the bottom of the arm that allows you to "set" the high end at 2200 RPM"s. This nut simply screws in and out and when adjusted correctly will not allow the rpm"s to exceed the set limit.
Next, start the tractor, and increase the throttle until your rpm"s arrive at the 2200 rpm level and SET the stop nut at this point.
You now should be very close to finish settings, other than possible carb adjustment.
