Cue the snow, I took the 35 out of service!!!
Finally got a break which looks like it might work it's way into spring so I figured I was safe to start some work on the tractor. Got a new rad for it about a month or so ago, figured while that was off I might as well get the timing cover off and check out the governor. It, even after adjusting per the instructions I got from John(UK) was completely non responsive. It will also give me an opportunity to replace the front crankshaft seal and rid it of one more annoying leak.
Got it all apart this afternoon which wasn't too bad. The good news is the governor looks to be in great shape. The bad news? Well, thus far, I don't think there is any! Looks as though the bumper spring has just been pushed too close to the front cover and isn't able to do anything, thus the governor does nothing. Gonna go snap a few pics and attach them just to make sure everything is as I think it is. So just going to order seals and gaskets and adjust and put back together.
