so i was reading my manual in the governor adjustment section, and it outlines a way to check the rpms without a tach.....but it seems dangerous to me. basic process it says is jack one of the rear wheels up off the ground, put a mark on it, run the tractor in 1st gear and count how many times the mark goes around. gives a little table in there to convert to engine rpms. 10 times=400 engine rpms, 12.5 times=500 engine rpms and so on....question is, has anyone tried this? does it work? like i said, it seems dangerous to me, like the tractor could take off , but what do i know? ha what do you all think?
