Just to warn the young guys, I learned this just a few years ago. NEVER push on the governor arm with a stretched forward right toe. It makes you go pretty fast, so fast that on a long hood A, the flywheel can come off. I used to take my 46 A to two different countys tractor pulls, had a 41 H on a trailer pulled behind the A. Always want to get there in a hurry so one day I gave the little arm a push, wow would it go. It did not take but about a mile of doing a good 30 or so mph that the flywheel and I parted. The flywheel must have been doing near 60 as it didn't stop for a good 300 foot down the road.Lets say I learned my lesson. Occasionally I still give the lever a tap, but only while using the A on my Gehl chooper to chew thru a lug in the hay windrow. If I time it right it can chew up a pretty big wad and keeps on hammering.
