YUP ! Sold, your name is now red so your storage should make it easier to post pics and videos.

We mostly upload videos to Youtube and then link them here as videos can suck up a lot of storage space.

Oh ok I will look into this thank you.

Ok here is a video of my governor set up it just doesent idle right like it won’t go into low rpms very well and it seems to rev up very easy but the governor is now moving as you can see so if I put a arm on that disc if will make it better, I will try and get a better video of movement it’s just hard with filming and pulling the cable @squonk

The governor was always moving but seems you didn't believe it was moving enough. Did you try to force it to move more? That could break the tab off of the shaft.

Go back to the earlier posts on how to set the governor. Also make sure the arm is clamping tight to the shaft because if the shaft slips in the arm it wont work properly

Start the engine and try pushing the governor by hand and you should feel it trying to push the throttle on the carb closed each time you try it. You shouldn't have to guess whether or not it's pushing back as it pushes pretty hard.

Yeah ok, so actually I got it going really good, I saw a video on YouTube of a guy with a wheel horse and a push pull throttle he opened and closed it easy with one hand my cables pretty stiff I have put pb blaster on it and it had helped but o think my cables pretty stiff routing might be a little bit too tight but I think it will work for me

Yes. the cable should slide easily though the conduit and it's important for ease of operation. That's why they used a twist lock type throttle to keep it in place because just the vibration of it running would shake it to close.

If you cut the Z bend off the end you can pull it out of the conduit, straighten any bends, clean it and oil the inside of the conduit. Send the wire back through and make a Z bend on the end. It also appears like the conduit is long and not much wire protruding out so you can cut the conduit shorter while the wire is pulled out.

Now you're selling your father's tractor?

You might want to poke around a little bit to get a better idea of what it's worth
