Picked up another 961 I found last weekend. Pretty straight, solid tractor. Starts fine, idles fine, runs good under load. Only thing I have a problem with is when I push the clutch in to turn or slow down, the engine wants to take off to almost full throttle. I can slow it down with the throttle handle and it runs fine again. Start another pass and same thing. Runs fine under load but hit the clutch and the engine takes off. Any ideas? Thanks!

Governor or governor linkage.

Thanks Sean! After reading your reply, I starting checking over the linkage's and springs. Found the governor compensator spring by the bell crank disconnected. By some act of God, it was still under there and never fell off during transport here. I have it hooked up now and hope that may be the issue but it's raining so hard here now, I think Noah just went down my block. I'll let you know if that was the issue when I get it out this weekend. Thanks again!

That was it Sean. Got it out and ran it around a bit today. Throttle holds steady loaded and stays the same after I depress the clutch. Thanks for your help.
