Nick: I recently restored my 1952 to30 which my dad bought new in '52. The Governor had the problem that you describe. The first question I have is are you sure that the throttle friction disc is properly adjusted. If not the vibration will affect the throttle position. If this is not the case the following should be checked. 1. the governor control lever to the carb. should be tight and linkage pins not worn. I re-drilled mine and increased the size of the pins to tighten.
2. The Governor behind the front engine cover and is a double disk (Nova type) with several, I think 8 balls that run between the two discs. The disks are on the end of the camshaft. These disks wear and the balls run in a groove worn into them and make the governor inoperative.
3. The outer disc pushes against a lever which turns a shaft that extends out of the housing to the governor control lever to the carb. This shaft wears also due to vibration on the needle bearings that are in the housing. The problem is that you can buy the needle bearings and seals at a bearing supply store and you can buy the new governor discs and balls, what you can't buy is the shaft. You have to make it or take it to a machine shop! I made my own out of some drill rod and rewelded the governor control rod back on. This is a touchy problem though. If you don't have a fair bit of machining/welding experience get some help because if this isn't right you don't stand a chance of having a working governor. But if you do everything right, your governor will work perfectly and you can work the tractor from no load to full load without any appreciably RPM loss. Hope that helps, as you can see I've been there!

the main part of the governor is located on the left side-front of engine,behind the front cover.im pretty sure you will have to remove the cover to determine if the governor is still in proper working order.there are several possibilities as to what may be wrong.i just bought a new one from Gap tractor in Texas for 55 dollars
