Many years ago we bought a couple of those friction throttles that TSC was
selling as an "improvement" for Farmalls. We put one on the Super M and one
on the Super MTA.
Big mistake... As you say Herb, if you tightened it up to where it didn't
creep down at full throttle you almost couldn't move it at all. We messed
with them for about a week and changed them back. We put one on the gate
control of a small broadcast seeder where it works well since there is no
governor spring pushing back against it. I think the other is still
"somewhere" in the tangled jungle that I like to call "the shop"...
:-)
If only my "throwing away" skills were better...
