Jerry S, you hit the nail on the head!

Last week I posted about how the water in the oil of my A was running in through the crankcase cover, and how I didn't know why since I'd put a new gasket on it. Jerry S responded with "Could the governor gasket be some of that problem too?" Well Jerry, you hit the nail on the head. It think it WAS leaking in at the governor, but not because the gasket was bad. Seems some dummy -- I won't mention any names -- when he put the governor back on after taking it off to replace a bad bearing (that's what originally put an end to the career of this JD A some 30 years ago) put the governor back on and put the bolts in finger tight, and never bothered to get around to tightening them (that was almost three years ago, the time since then having been spent on engine repairs). Duh. Sometimes when I'm tinkering with my A, I'm reminded of a poem my daughter used to think was very funny when she was little. It opened with lines something like "I wish my father wouldn't try to fix things anymore, because everything he's attempted is more broken than before."
