Farmall A Governor Shaft Removal

FM · Jul 26, 2010

I am tearing down an A engine to rebuild it. This is the first engine I've ever torn down this far. I am trying to remove the Governor shaft/magneto drive gear. I can't seem to figure out how it comes out. Anybody got any points? Thought maybe the front cover was holding it on but I took that off today and it still hangs up. Do the governor weights need to come off?

I got the fan pulley off the crank today without breaking it so I was feeling good but I sure wish I could figure out how to get the governor shaft out.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,
I just looked in my parts book for my A, it looks like the weights have to come off, then the shaft pulls out towards the rear of the tractor.
I rebuilt the governor on mine the winter before last, but did not remove weights or shaft, just gov. housing it runs great now, can idle it down now too.
