First I'm not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination. Most of the mechanical knowledge I've aquired has been out of nessecity and to a large extent from asking questions here on this or the Oliver/Cockshutt forum. Anyways a govenor has always been this mysterious thing on the front of the engine that is best left alone so that you don't screw things up. Well recently I had to remove one in order to replace a front seal on a tractor I'm trying to restore. After removing it and seeing whats inside there I'm thinking I have an inkling of how it works. If I have this right as the engine spins it is attached mechanicaly through a gear which spins the govenor which in turn causes this disc type plate weighted with 6 steel ballbearings to slide on a shaft do to centrifical force which in turn is attached by a series of levers to the carberator and controls the flow of gas to the carberator which in turn controls the speed the engine is turning at, which controls where this weighted disc in the govenor is sittuated on this shaft and so on and so on. I'm sure this is a very basic understanding and there are other factors involved and also that there may be other models that differ inside or that are more modern. I have to say that it don't seem near as mysterious anymore but figured I'd ask you fellas to inlighten me if I'm missing anything. On the same subject it seems to me that these 6 balls in there are out of round, not that I can see it but seems I can feel it. Is this possible or is it my imagination? Thanks Rocko.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
