Lynn,
Try running your tractor at idle and grab the rod from the governor to the carb and rev the motor ( you might need to disconnect the temporary cable you mentioned if it interferes. Just move the rod forward or back (can't remember which at the moment) to rev it. If the governor 'fights back'; ie: trying to return to idle, then you might just need the governor spring. It's about 2" long, around 1/2" thick and the dealer still can get them. You just have to pull the governor case off to replace it. I did this on a C without removing the distributor or radiator. Since you're just pulling the case, the distributor and drive can stay put. On the C there was just enough clearance to get the case off, not sure if the A has as much clearance to the radiator though. If the governor does not smoothly resist the movement to rev the motor, then you might have deeper troubles.
