Well I ran into an unfortunate finding when I finally got the governor housing off the 720 gas crankcase. I found 3 chunks of the ventilator gear that mates with the governor gear. I was always warned that
this was a taboo area to mess with because of the heal setting these two gears mate together with. Ideally it would be nice to find a matching governor housing with governor assmebly to plunk right back
ontop of the crankcase, but I see steiner sells these parts PN AF2861R and F 3057R. See pictures of the chuncked out gears. I dont know how or if this tractor ran this way? Or if the previous owner broke
them while pulling this tractor that was stuck prior to selling it to me? Anyway most of the internals of the governor have some heavy rust on the drive/cam gears that will clean up, but Im not sure what
my options should be here with these chipped gears. I would hate to take my chances and run it this way-unless anyone has done so in the past with good results. I am leaning toward replacing them with new
but am unsure how difficult setting the heal up on these gears are? If anyone has any pointers I would appreciate it. Already too far into this tractor to give up now.
