My "new" Super A seems (to me) to have a lot of slop in the speed change lever--the lever on the governor housing that is attached to the throttle rod that goes to the throttle lever. You have to move the throttle lever halfway up the quadrant from idle to get any speed change. I looked at the parts breakdown and I don"t see a bushing or anything, looks like the lever just goes straight into the housing. I have an extra from an A and it has right much slop as well. I would assume that the lever shouldn"t wobble in the housing at all. Has anyone ever run into this? Only thing I can figure is to see if a machine shop could bore the housing and press in a bushing, or am I over-thinking this??

Thanks,
Al

You are correct about the slop. I rebuild them by rebushing that hole makes them work like new again. I have a 5/8 end mill thats a couple thous under size after being sharpened then press a 5/8x1/2 brass bushing you can get at Lowes and other placeslube the shaft and fit it for the end play. Now you have throttle response sometims a new spring is needed also. You will like the results. Ive sent them all over and customers are always happy with the rsults.

I am intrested as well. I believe I have about 4 governors that need fixing currently.........and 44 more tractors in the building. I'm sure there are a few of those that will need attention too.
