Need any input you may have put there with respect to my D-17 running away on me yesterday. All of sudden the engine went full tilt and the only way I can get it to idle down is to push hard up on the throttle lever. If I let go of the throttle it will rev to the max. I suspect something blew in the govenor, but need advise if anyone has experienced this.
Thanks,
John

My D-17 did nearly the same thing last Sunday afternoon. I shut it down. I was checking it out closer tonight. The throttle linkage is okay all of the way to the governor. There is no way I can slow the idle down on mine though. Even pushing the throttle lever up does nothing. I guess I need to open up the governor linkage and check it out in there. I broke a spring in the governor in my SMTA once. It did not high idle though. Just would not run.

Threw a governor weight. When apart and if it did throw a weight check to make darn sure the weight didn't go through the timing gears. The slightest little nick or bend to a tooth on any one gear will give the engine a knock. If your replace one gear and not the rest the old gears will ruin your new gear right off the bat if the old ones have a nick or slight bend on a tooth. Believe me it doesn't take much of a bend. The crank gear is the hardest to tell if there is any damage because it's hard to see towards the back side. Been there and done all that.

Jack,
Any idea as to where I would get the parts to fix it?
Thanks,

I always went to our local Allis (AGCO) dealer. Should be an AGCO dealer somewhere close enough to you.

Sounds like the governor to me also. The governor fights to keep down RPM and the throttle fights to bring up RPM.
