We have a 1960 John Deere 730 Diesel with electric start. The tractor was idling fast, so we took off the govenor cover above the flywheel. There is only one weight left on the gear, and we can see the other sitting down below. My question is can we pull the gear off the end of the shaft and put new weights on it, or do we have to pull the whole assembly off? Thanks! Bryan Halter

Thank you for the input. The bearing by the govenor gear was badly worn when we took the cover off (broken into 3 pieces and the inner race was badly pitted and worn) so it was kind of a blessing that the weight came off I guess. Would hate to see what kind of damage all those balls from the bearing would do in the crankcase. I'm guessing we're going to have to either press or pull the gear along with the bearing off of the shaft since they are right next to each other?

Make sure you support the gear in the center by the shaft and not anything touching the outer edges if that model has the thin gear with a spoked hub I forget what's in those ?

I have found it was just as easy to remove the entire shaft. There is a thrust washer on the right side end so be careful not to have it drop down in the crankcase. I had a 730 D that threw a governor weight and it ran at high RPM"s. It is not that difficult of repair. Good luck.

The whole shaft will come out. You need to unhook the throttle linkage so you can rotate the shaft and get the fork off and take out the tachometer drive.
