missing spring

[steve 43]

My 43 2n seeems to have a spring missing... the one that goes from throtle shaft to the head. I never even noticed it until someone else asked about here. My questions are what does it do and where can I get one if necessary. Thank you.

overnor compensation spring whose purpose is to help prevent governor action from moving your hand throttle set position. Yt & most all old N tractor supply houses offer this spring. Many operate just fine without it.

Here is a picture of the governor compensating spring.

"Many operate just fine without it."

If your tractor is running fine (governor
functioning properly) without the spring I would
not worry about it. I have a couple without it and
cannot tell the difference.

Humm, My 2N has never had that spring! Didn't even know that it took one there. Guess it doesn't need it.

Why is #1 not routed through it ??

My tube does not have 5 holes??

Ken, I wish now I had run it through the 4th hole. At the time I installed the wire in the tube it looked to me like it was too much angle (tension) on the wire so decided not to try it.

Nice looking tractor Ken!
It looks like you are missing the spark plug wire bracket
that holds #1 and #2 so they don't get hit by the fan.
They're a bit pricey, but they are available if you're interested.
