I sympathize with you. I have a spare "H" governor, where the spring was shifted to a replacement like you describe. Someone had cut off and placed a sawed off bolt inside it, I assume to dampen the spring action but I'm not sure. My working "H" tractor still has the original.

I note that Walt's Tractor part's website lists a high performance governor. I e-mailed them to ask what they mean't by high performance. I did not hear back from them. I also note that the blue ribbon service manual talks about a tighter regulation (5%)spring for the U4 stationary model of the H so maybe that's the context? Maybe you could check with them on a spring. I know that you don't want any more wear than necessary in the linkage as it no doubt affects governor performance.

I noticed that in this spare governor assembly I have that there was considerable wear in the arm attached to the speed change lever and that is what this clevis assembly you describe probably prevents. I would probably try to find a used one if I couldn't get new. I guess it depends how much you intend to use the tractor.

I've been around the block on this governor issue lately, trying to get a few more rpm's out of my tractor for pto work. I have learned that you can jack the adjustments around all you like. For my tractor it seems that I had to stick as close to original settings as I could or the linkage would bind. I did check the pto speed with a shaft tach and I'm getting enough speed with no load. So I am now assuming that my rpm drop off while baling and hauling a wagon is probably related to the fact that depending on topography etc, I've got a little too much load for the tractor. Good luck with this one. I'd be most pleased to hear how you make out.
