Lance, I enjoyed watching your C at work. Years ago we had a '46 WC, thus I have a soft spot for AC.
A couple thoughts/words of caution regarding your C: 1) Until you get your governor/linkage problem solved, I'd take it pretty easy. It sounded to me like your engine was revving pretty high....Old engines sometimes like to fly apart.
2) Regarding the clutch drag problem. Again, I'd be careful. That clutch and linkage is very simple. Until you are able to determine just what's wrong, again I'd be very careful operating the little tractor. You don't want to damage your gears attempting to shift with a dragging clutch. That clutch and linkage is very simple. Perhaps you could disconnect the linkage and determine if the problem is with the linkage or the clutch itself. Is there an inspection hole you can look in and see what's going on? Listen very carefully around the bell housing area while engaging/disengagung the clutch (rear wheels blocked up or engine not running), you should be able to determine the problem quite easily.
In the case of the governor and clutch, I'd be looking very closely at both systems as both are likely to get worse and cause damage.
3) Coolant leak. You said you were having to add watter every couple rounds. I would not operate the tractor, even a little bit, till that problem is solved. It is SO easy to accidently let the coolant level drop too low and do permanent damage. There is no faster way to destroy an engine than to overheat it or run it low on oil.
I am not trying to insult or "mother" you, but mechanical lessons learned the hard way are usually pretty expensive.
