As a general rule governors on vintage tractors use a rotating mass that consists of a set of flywheel weights or cams with weights at the end but in some cases with the governor used on most vintage ford tractors for example a set of steel balls within a pair of races is used. I have a late 60s ford 3000 gas 3 cylinder that the governor linkage is giving me issues the good the tractor starts runs and idles perfect the bad when you throttle the tractor up there is zero movement from the governor arm that is attached to the throttle shaft on the carb until it gets to about 2 3rds throttle.
