[AT] CA tractor with goofy governor--question

[Cecil E Monson]

> My good neighbor has an AC CA tractor that runs great.  He just rebuilt the lower end and I reconditioned the head for him.  Problem is it will not stop surging--at idle or under load.  Our books/manuals are very sketchy at best on how to adjust the governor.  They say to adjust the spring tension but they don't mention which springs or what tension in pounds!   We haven't found anything that works.  You can hold the throttle rod from the governor and steady it up, but any little change of the throttle will start it surging again.  Anybody with a CA that has had this problem--and figured the solution?   John

	The manual says you may have to bend the rod between the
governor and the rod to the carb to obtain a small amount of pre-
load on the throttle on that engine, John. I've never had to do
it but I am sure some of the other Allis guys can help. I have a
B with the CE engine that is surging now and know it is what I am
going to have to do to fix it.
