Looked at a C yesterday for sale. Starts fine but wants to run away with its self. Will idle ok and can use 2 or 3 notches of throttle and gain rpm, but more than that and it really winds up. Any ideas what the problem may be? Fellow is asking $850 for it (firm). What are opinions on the price? This would be my first venture with a Farmall. Thanks Bob for sending parts diagram earlier. Jack

It may be as simple as the linkage between the governor arm and the carburetor being adjusted wrong, or it may be an internal failure... thrust bearing may have failed, cutting up fork, or there may be something wrong with the weights.

I wouldn't think it should be TOO costly to fix!

Bob my first thought was gov. spring. After seeing the tractor I don't know. There are 2 springs one on each side of the arm from the Gov. There is quite a bit of slack space between the 2 springs and the arm. Problem? or need to look deeper? Thanks, Jack

If I'm understanding you correctly, that would be the springs on the rod from the throttle lever. While what you are saying does not sound normal, I don't think that is causing your overspeeding.

The rod between the governor and the carburetor must be adjusted (in length) so the carburetor throttle shaft reaches it's wide open position JUST BEFORE the governor arm reaches the end of it's travel in the wide-open direction.

(Check also that the throttle butterfly in the carburetor is intact, and both screws are present and tight.)
