I'm going to look at a 1949 JD-A that the man says is making a noise in the governer. How much trouble and money can a novice get into working on the governer. How hard are they to rebuild.

The main thing you need to look for is properly establishing the governor gear/fanshaft gear wear pattern, be it on old gears or new. If using a set of used gears, the new wear pattern needs to match the patern already showing on the teeth. If they are properly set and the backlash is properly adjusted, the fan shaft play will be correct. If the gear pattern is not adjusted correctly, the gears will make all kinds of noise and wear rapidly. It's basically the same procedure as setting up a differential. Get yourself a service manual (I&T) and follow it closely, and you should be fine. New gears aren't cheap, but are probably worth it if the tractor is going to be run quite a bit and you don't want it to sound like a corn sheller.

I believe I remember to check and see how much gear play there is, turn the fan by hand and it should allow you to turn it 1" as measured at the outer edge of the fan blade. You might just need a new bearing on that left side of the governor as they sometimes starve for oil. If you have to replace the gear from or to the fan, then get a matched set. If you do have to put new gears in, chances are they will make noise still until they learn to get along with each other and wear in a little.

REMOVE THE MAGNETO BEFORE WORKING ON THE GOVERNER HOUSING GEARS!!! the spring pressure,etc can cause it to break the mag housing, also mark the mag timing, and look at the governer gear timing marks, and the shims on the bevel gear on the fanshaft, and check the backlash on the fan drive gears, important to control noise,allso check the crankcase ventilation pump for wear or broken springs, Think twice look three times and be sure you are careful.

Well, today novices are electing a new governor in Michigan.

The governor shouldn't be too difficult to repair or rebuild. The main moving parts is the spinning counterweights. If the gears are good, it should be a good first job to attack on a tractor. Some of the others might have some more specific tips.
