Allic Chalmers C governor

[Anonymous-0]

Hi, I hope someone can help! Yesterday I was using my allis C to plow, and for all summer it has been running like a champ. all of a sudden the rpm's kicked into a speed that I never thought was possible, when i reduced the throttle it did nothing, would not slow down, but before i could I could get the mag grounded out it quit.When I took the the cover off the governor I found total havoc had occoured. The weights had broken off and there was a big section of the gear that was broken off. I found a different on and it is on the way but I need to know how to install it correctly? Are there any timing marks on the gear? do I just go by # 1 cylinder on tdc then install it in corralation with the mag? I need help please!
Thanks in advance, Rodney

With the engine at #1 TDC at the end of the compression stoke, ready to fire, the mag drive slot in the governor shaft/gear should be HORIZONTAL.

Then, install the mag so it fires @ #1 TDC.

there are timing marks on the gears, but the mag needs to be in the proper, timed position.
