Hello all and welcome back! In this video we start working solely on the governor – covering disassembly and inspection of parts. We find that the weights, pins, actuating shaft, and housing are quite worn. The hunt continues for a few good parts.
Also – I want to take a moment to remember and honor all of the victims of 9.11.01, as well as the emergency responders and good samaritans who both gave their life, and sacrificed loosing their life that dreadful day. To all military and domestic emergency crews past present and future – your service is not forgotten and we are forever indebted to you.
On a side note – this week is Mental Health Awareness week! Let’s see if we can’t boost some more donation for the Memorial Restoration cause! Click the link below for the GoFundMe, and don’t forget to share it!

That cotton seal and housing is very similar to the seal on the pinion shaft of my Gibson tractor. My seal was shot, leaking badly, and no parts were available. Fortunately for me, my wife had some heavy felt in her fabric stash that I was able to make a new seal out of. It works great. Ditto on the 9/11 honors. You might want to try a reamer instead of the 37/64" drill bit to ensure a snug fit on those bushings. Nice job on that governor Kenny!
Hi Kenny, thanks for all the good videos lately, going back to the shows and stuff! I wonder if that heavy wear is normal? Especially on that shaft. Maybe it wasn't oiling enough. I know everything wears, but when i have had the cover of my M, oil is dripping off everything. Like its been hosed on. But i think it just splash oils right? Thanks
Most of your ills can be resolved with a little measuring and lathe and mill time. When you do the bushings do not use a twist drill. Use a reamer that will leave you about .001 to .002 inteference fit and put them in with a good grade of locktite.Be sure and chamfer the holes before install. Don't beat them in but press them if possible. If possible set the part up and "line ream" the holes. Go slowly or you may lose your "inteference" fit. Cast is not like steel and will usually ream a little bigger hence the need for some locktite. The bushings look .500 inside diameter?The shaft can be repaired with any good "shafting material" of the proper hardness. Don't think I would weld it up.If you can just replace it. Sure wish we were closer. You could bring it over and we would fix it right up. Hope these tips help.
what about brazing the holes then redrill
I seen Richards video today, looks like he has a govenor in pretty good shape.
Hope he sends it out to you!
Thanks for showing and sharing the info on the governor disassemble.
Can't wait for the next video 👍
Well done, Ken! Great job explaining the process. Looks like you were able to bring the Case tractor back into the garage. We will never forget 9/11. I too am grateful for our military, veterans and first responders. Nice tribute at the end of the video. 🇺🇸🚜👍
a good governor is on its way, do you have any WD9 parts laying around
Great video Kenny on the disassembly of the governor. There is a place called Diversified Bronze & Manufacturing, Inc. up in Braham MN. https://diversifiedbronze.com. If you need some bushings made up that are not available in the aftermarket or Rudy needed something special made you might check them out.
Complicated dang thing. Is it lubricated by the engine oil?
Wow, I really am behind! Maybe Steiner has those weights and pins? As you know they have a lot of part's. Thanks for the update and video.🇺🇸
