I'm in the same boat. My Farmall 504 diesel is about the fastest tractor I have ever driven. With stock 12.4x38 rears it would do +20 mph. It has 14.9x38's on it now (has for the past 30 years). The governor works fine under a load, but can be revved to +3000 rpm (???). In 5th it will do over 30 mph. It protests from 4th to 5th. I start in 4th, clutch and pull T/A back, shift to 5th, then once it catches up, T/A back to direct. Even 5th T/A to direct will load it down some.
I do have a loader, weights, and fluid in the tires. Could account for some of the lag, but no more than a hay wagon. Its just geared tall in 5th and FAST.
