57 Cub Throttle Stuck

Posted by Slappy on October 30, 2003 at 06:57:18 from (143.88.58.77):

I recently purchased a 57 Farmall Cub that had not run for several years. After tinkering with it last Saturday I finally got it to run (it sounds good too), but the throttle is stuck in the wide-open position. The linkage is free. The problem appears to be in the governor (at least I think it’s the governor) on the front of the engine. The rocker arm (and spring) that the linkage attaches to won’t budge. This is my first Cub (I have a Farmall H that I worked on a lot) and I probably won’t get the manuals for a little while yet. Are these units tricky or can I remove, disassemble and clean the governor fairly easily? Is there anything I should watch out for or replace while I’m in there? Thanks in advance for all your help.
