Allen, Why do you think there is a problem with your governor? Assuming you do have such a problem, having the shop manual, a floor jack, a gear puller, and the right wrenches, I don't believe it takes a really skilled mechanic to get to the governor mechanism. Of course if the problem is in the governor linkage, you don't have to do all of this. You really need to get a shop manual and a parts manual (the orginal factory reproductions are the best, in my opinion), if for no other reason than to help you decide whether you can handle a specific job, or because of special tool requirements, you ought to pay someone else to do them. You can also get a lot of great advice right here in this forum from a bunch of folks that have "been there, done that" on these old Fergusons. My personal opinion is there is very little normal repair work that can't be done by a person forearmed with a shop & parts manual and some minor mechanical skills, a willingness to try, and the good sense to ask for help on this forum when they're not quite sure about something.
Hope this helps.
