Okay, I went out and checked the governor operation on my Super C.It was much as you described: that is, with the speed control lever at full advance, the rockshaft arm went all the way back. With the throttle rod pulled all the way back toward the carb, AS PER THE MANUAL, the holes on the clevis pin did NOT line up with the hole in the rockshaft arm! The throttle rod, as adjusted, was much too long. With the speed control lever at lowest speed the rockshaft arm went forward (away from the carb) as it is supposed to. Then with the throttle rod moved all the way forward, the pin and holes DID match. Perfectly. I don't know what to tell you. Mine is a good running tractor that pulls very, very well, idles smoothly, and except for normal wear on the linkages, etc., shows no signs of governor problems. I stress that it pulls VERY well. I don't like to use it for heavy work, but this spring the Ford 2600 was out of commission for a while, so I had to use the Super C to plow up my orchard expansion. The C pulled the two-bottom sulky plow at full depth through tight soil that had not been tilled in eleven years with NO problems. (While I was messing with the throttle rod I moved the fuel line to get a good look and the damn thing sprung a leak. It is very old and brittle and could well have been the original. Off to the Case dealer.)
