The 123 in the SuperC is rated for 1815 no-load RPM. I don't know of a way to be on that mark (or any other) and not exceed it, except with a tach.
Until you can get your hands on one . . . If you're accustomed to running the tractor and have some sense of what it sounded like before you lost the old governor spring, you can dial it in by ear, but go on the slower/conservative side.

Since the SuperC has a battery/coil ignition, you can also use one of the old-style dwell/tachs that hook onto the primary lead from the coil to the distributor. You can also use a contact wheel tach, but that is a lot less handy as every measurement requires some double-fisted arithmetic to convert your reading to engine speed.
