My C apparently jumped timing.  I lost throttle control. I adjusted the timing at the distributor to no avail.  The tractor runs wide open.  

I have removed and replaced the governor; is the any way the tractor is simply mistimed or are there other issues I should be looking at?

This may or may not be your problem: I have seen the small screws holding the butterfly in the carburetor come loose and cause the issue you describe. 
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

the cam shaft is gear driven to the crank shaft. The engine can not " loose timeing"... the governor has nothing to do with the timing.. all it does it control throttle max speed.

The CARBURETOR should be able to set the engine at idle or minimal speed with the throttle lever.. If the GOVERNOR is pulling the carburetor arm wide open , then you have a governor problem.. If the carburetor arm is at idle and you are running wide open , follow Pauls suggestion on the carb butterfly.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

to check adjustment of the governor to carb... look at these photos and follow directions.

Kudos, kudos, kudos!  

I did not find time yesterday to work on the C but this morning I took the carburetor off and the throttle butterfly had one screw missing and the other was loose. I had pulled the spark plugs earlier and noticed they were all gasoline soaked.  Same issue I'm sure.

I had an almost identical carb so I removed the butterfly (it was in better condition) and put it in the old card with BOTH screws.  It now starts and runs well -- and the throttle works!

Thanks again for your help.

Now what do I do about the engine surging?  When I start it and run the engine above idle it surges until I engage my mower.
