I always thought Itasca was one of the prettiest towns in the blackland, but I haven"t been through there in a decade or so. Has creeping urbanization ruined it yet? I am unclear on exactly what you checked when you checked the governor. You are looking for RESISTANCE, not range of motion. The governor should feel like it is fighting you. Check the resistance to motion with the engine off, then again with the engine running. You should feel much more resistance with it running. Try to find a good running C or other letter-series Farmall in your neighborhood (shouldn"t be too hard) and compare the feel of that governor to yours. As for adjustment: you can set the low and high idle speeds (limits), and there is also an adjustment for "hunting," where the governor can"t seem to make up it"s mind where to set the speed. If I understand your problem, though, the governor is not "hunting," the tractor does not stall out at idle and reaches a pretty good RPM, so I would not start monkeying with adjustments until you have checked the governor for proper operation. Rebuild kits are available. You want to get a copy of the IT IH-8 manual and read the procedure first. You can also get an Owner"s Manual reprint from Case. Unless you are VERY familiar with the Super C I strongly suggest you get a copy and read it cover to cover, like a novel. My Super C has never had the governor rebuilt and I think I am beginning to feel the first signs of wear (stumbles ever so slightly when comming up from a slow idle), so I would appreciate you keeping me posted if you decide a rebuild is necessary. Good luck! Go Whompus Cats!
