[Ford-ferguson] TO-30 camshaft

[George Willer]

This is a subject I'm very interested in.  I had given up on having a 
working governor on my '41 9N.  The governor has been re-newed and is in 
first class shape as far as I can tell... every trace of wear has been 
corrected, but the governor doesn't respond.  This is in contrast to the 
governor on my '46 9/2N, which regulates perfectly.

After thinking about it for a couple years, I've come to the conclusion the 
governor must not even be turning.  Is this possible?  Can it be a simple 
problem that can be corrected without a complete tear-down?
