H Farmall governor.....

I mentioned on another thread the governor is acting up on my H.

I've played with it enough to doubt that it's the spring, but I'm in a situation where I need to use the tractor and don't want to disable it by taking the governor apart as long as I can use it like it is.

Feller on Ebay has a used one listed for an M, starting bid $24. The photo looks identidal to an H.

Does anyone know if it is?
 
Replaced a spring (internal) on a Farmall 200 governor with a hardware store special - not a very long or complicated proceedure. If yours is the same,.....
 
The case and all the internal parts except the gear are the same. H has 16 teeth, M 17 teeth. I gutted a 1942 H governor to repair the one on my 1947 M.
 
Goose I looked back to find your previous post. Sounds like the problem may be the bell crank assembly on top of the engine head. That is the assembly where the long shaft from the throttle lever hooks and where the shaft from the governor hook. The throttle shaft has an assembly on the end called an equalizer. That assembly may need to be adjusted. They can get real sloppy. It is trial and error on adjusting it.
 
Goose I just found the throttle lever shaft out in the garage from a 1942 H I parted out back in 2001. That equalizer is composed of a bracket, 2 springs with a governor control rod swivel between the 2 springs that hooks into the bell crank pivot. There are 2 nuts, one on the outside of the bracket, one on the inside of the end of the bracket. I am betting you have a spring missing or a nut is missing but something wrong with that assembly.
 
It's good to know about the number of teeth.

I checked the equalizer, and it appears to be OK.

I'll play with it some more tomorrow.

Thanks for the responses.
