[Farmall] Farmall Digest, Vol 75, Issue 20

[captndan]

Most governor problems are with the linkage.  Take it all off and clean it. 
Look for rounded out holes and worn pins.  Don't paint where the linkage 
pieces fit together.  Look at the coil spring on the governor.  There should 
be no slack in it.  Let us know how that works.
