cub running wild

I just bought a Farmall cub. It starts fine and it idles fine but you just touch the gas lever it takes off like a jet. There's no happy medium.

Governor spring or thrush bearing failure

Never took my apart. What should I be looking for?

I believe old iron is right. Only other thing it could be is that the
linkage doesn?t move freely and it gets hung up in one
position or the other.

Jump over to Farmall Cub.com
I think they have a how to forum that should tell you or youtube you to fix it.

Broken stuff.

Seriously. Broken stuff. That's usually the problem. You take it apart, pieces fall out. Replace the pieces and everything's okay again... There isn't all that much in there.

The spring is external and can be seen from I believe the left side of the tractor if you shine a light in there. Check that first.
