Governor adjustment problem

The governor on my 2N seems to be non-functional. The spring has a lot of play, so I know the first step is to tighten it. It is so loose that the hand throttle is inoperative for the 1st half of the quadrant! The FO-4 manual says to bend the loop with pliers to tighten it. I tried to do this with the governor on the tractor, but I can’t get the spring to bend. The loops on top and bottom look very short already. Is the correct method to remove the governer, bend the loop(s) so you can remove the spring, bend them again to “shorten” the spring, then put the whole thing back together? Or is there some other method?

The inner lever (item 1 in figure FO56) wobbles side to side. Should there be some shims between the lever and the housing to prevent this, or is this normal? It is very sloppy; it probably has 1/2” of side to side play in it.

Thanks in advance.

Ron,
The arms shouldn't wobble that much. You'll have to remove the governor to fix it. The FO-4 has good directions for rebuilding, and I think nseries.com also has a good step-by-step.
If the spring were your only problem, you would have to remove it to tighten the spring (I had to). The spring should be tight-no play, but not under stress either. A loose spring produces the exact problem you have-no effect on the throttle through the first half of quadrant movement.
As you have to remove the governor to open it up to adjust the arms, take the opportunity to examine the races and ball bearings. If the bushings on the arms are worn that bad I'll bet the races and ball bearings are shot too. May be time for a complete rebuild. It actually is a very simple repair.
