Thanks Hugh, I just don't get a few things. Like the fact that the pitch control lever feels really weird, like the hydraulic arm is controlling the lever instead of the other way around. Why cycling the pitch lever will either cause or stop the rockshaft for the blade bleeding off. Why the levers have been been fine until today then the extreme overheating of the hydraulic fluid.
I don't know where the governor is located per se, but if I find it, I'll take a look at that. Just because the fluid overheated, I just drained it and cleaned the tube screen on the left side of the hydraulic unit, then filled it with new hytrans. Left the fill plug out and cycled it a few times, no change, still acting squirrely. Although while I was working the pitch control, about midway through the travel, the engine sounded great for a split second. Then right back to sluggish and slow, so I do think the two things are related. I've got to figure this out, I don't have a trailer to take it to a shop. Oh, after I cycled the levers a few times and shut it down, the new fluid was a tiny bit frothy. Bubbles on top about 1/8th inch thick. But then I didn't get that last little bit of old fluid off the bottom of the case.
This unit was the culmination of a dream I've had for a long time. It tears me up not being able to fix it. I'll adjust the stops on the touch controls to limit travel and see if it won't settle down. Thanks. Dave

As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
