| Wow have I started a major job. Need to check the weights on the govenor, thought It would be fairly easy, but after I got the raidiator out and the fan off, I checked the book. Only to realize that I now have to take the whole front end out to remove the cover. And all this on a sun. evening. WOW. Is this as bad as i think or am I making too much of it? |

WC, WD, WD45, D17 take the distributor or mag drive out the govener weights are on the drive gear.
Start by taking the dist or mag cap off and marking the rotor location.
Remove the three nuts holding it to the block. You can see one under the oil fill cap in the picture, a mag will be the same.
 Govenor weights should be pinned to gear if one is missing or damaged you will be able to see. Simply replace the weights and reinstall so the marks you made line up. I always replace both weights.

not sure what you are working on, but can`t think of any of the normal Allis engines you need to pull the front timing cover to get to the gov. weights.
We need more info so someone can help you, tractor type, engine etc. ------------- Pullin With AC |

| Its a 190xt. I found an acess plate to get to the govenor. Now I am not sure what is wrong. The tractor goes to full idle when you give it some throttle. I was told to check the weights, but im not sure what im looking for.Seems to be kinda loose in there, is that normal. Right now Im just glad I dont have to take the front end out. |
