MF 135 Governor Compensating Spring and 3-Point

[mspencer2]

I am replacing a broken governor compensating spring on the MF 135 I just bought and can"t figure out where the end opposite the arm connects to (pics would be nice if they exist). It has the Z-145 motor. I also have an issue with the 3-Point settling rather rapidly. I assume this is some sort of an internal leak, but can anyone tell me the parts I would need to fix it. I have the service manual (which didn"t help on the GC spring). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

on the z134 and z129 engines the compensating spring is connected to a small hole on the engine side of the gooseneck going to the radiator from the water pump. the same gooseneck is where the temperature gauge probe goes into on the opposite side of the tractor. its kind of under the front of the gas tank. a real pain to get it on without removing the gas tank but it can be done. i would connect it to the gooseneck first then the arm then connect the arm to the ubolt on the throttle rod last. speaking from experience.

Is it the same on the Z-145 engine as it is the z134 and z129?

i looked on agcopartsbooks.com and they have the same part number and same picture for the two engines. being the engine for a mf50 z134 and mf135 z145. the part is for the thermostat body #181521m1. its the same part and should be the same hook up for the compensating spring. hope that helps you.
