Ozark Guy- Look out, 'cuz you are building a potential disaster! Them belt driven governors were made for stationary power plants, combines, generators, etc, power system designs and not for mobile equipment. Governors driven off the cam gear are the norm for mobile equipment. Ponder what will happen if you're driving along with your tractor and belt breaks on the correctly described here spring loaded throttle cable/rod system. The governor is going to sense zero RPM and allow the throttle spring to jerk the carb to wide open. If it happens in a stationary power system, the problem is limited to the lights go out when the engine blows, or everybody gets to go to town and drink beer on a hot day and ponder what went wrong with the baler or combine. The equipment mfg gets to sell a replacement engine and has little worry about product design liability matters involving death or injury. Ask yourself if you are are really up to tractor "wheelies" and/or back flips? Buy a big bucks life insurance policy and your potential widow will love you all the more and for longer. By the Grace of God I survived a "wheelie" within the first 10 minutes of driving my Chevy V-8 powered "Super F-20 back in the early seventies. Ponder the wisdom of a foot or hand throttle for a mobile equipment installation. Been there, done that, and got off very lucky. Kim has photos and the story for future use here. Work safe, IHank

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
