Thanks to everybody for the pointers. My tractor uses a mag. I"ve got the timing cover off so I can line up the timing marks. I"ve re-checked the new governor assembly for any suggestion of timing marks. There are none, and none on the backside either.
I put the old gov. gear back in place with all timing marks aligned and marked where the mag. drive slot was oriented (at about 2-8 o"clock looking from the rear). I then removed the old gov. and put the new one in and find that I can get the mag. drive slot to within about a degree of the marks I made. I"m thinking that I can now put the timing marks onto the governor gear and have it in the same position as the original.
I need to mark it since I also have to pull and replace the camshaft gear. Some of the cogs are broken, apparently from the half dozen or so cogs that were wiped out on the governor gear. I also hope to pull and replace the drive shaft timing gear too while I"m at it, though it wasn"t damaged, but is worn (if I can get it off!).
An additional question I have is, since I don"t have the shafts out (and don"t have a gear press), is it permissible to drive the timing gears back onto the shafts, say using a block of wood and light sledge? (Any likely damage to rear seals or something else?)
Thanks again for all the suggestions and pointers. I"ve had old "Short Stack" for almost 40 years, and this has been its first major breakdown.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
