I have a 1940 case VC. The Governor blew up. Yep, parts out the bottom, blew up. New one is on its way. Anyhow, I have always thought that the F124 Continental in the case ran at 1200 RPM. Is this the correct setting? I have recently seen other applications for the F124 (old fork lift) that was governed at 1800 RPM. Would it harm the old VC to run at 1800? The reason I ask is that when I discoverd that the Governor blew, I had to regulate speed with the foot pedal. When raising the RPM to (approx.) 1600-1800 RPM, man did that make a difference in the way it mowed. Thanks in advance for any info.

Governed RPM on the VC is controlled by the throttle spring that is enclosed in the metal tube between the throttle and governor. This spring gets weak with time and corrosion. Most parts for the Continental engine is still available. I haven"t found a good source for the Case spring. It would be nice to know of an off shelf spring that would replace it.
I am restoring a VC at the present time. I have to replace the engine with another that I have. i am debating about boring the engine out to 162 cu. in. specs. A 162 running at 2400 RPM should produce close to 40 horsepower. Bet this would give the Allis"s fits in the 3000 lb class... Gene

P.S. I have 2 spare axles for when I break one!!!!

This is the one that ole Clausen deliberately had the engineers govern down because he didn"t want it competing with the larger tractors in the lineup (the S models) and taking away sales from the units with a better profit margin. He had them limit it to 1450 RPM"s MAX. The original engines were governed at 1650. (this from Full Steam Ahead).

So turning up the RPM"s shouldn"t be a problem, IMHO.

Same engine, shouldn't make any difference, I wouldn't think. Where did you get parts for your gov? My VC's gov needs some parts. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
