Going over our NAA to get it in shape for future work.Took the govenor off the front of the engine to check the insides. It
looked fine except the wear on the fork was not even on the wear surfaces of the fork. The left side pad had an even surface
of wear. The right side had a two surface wear pattern. The side toward the inside was worn about .009 inches more to the
middle of the pad than the other half of the wear pattern. The left pad measures .482 inches of thickness of the pad. The
right pad measures .477 inches on the low side and .486 inches on the high side.
The govenor mechanism looks like it might have been replaced. The wear surface of the base shows no wear at all. The base
goes exactly to the outside of the fork sides. It is riding on the left pad and on the high part of the right pad. We have
probably put 50 hours on the tractor since we got it.
We would appreciate your thoughts on what we should do about the pad surfaces on the right side.
We think our options are to file both pads to a smooth uniform height, leave the pads like they are, or try to find a
different fork with even pads.
Thank you very much for any help you can give us.
