Very good video Bundy and easy to follow your instructions. I noticed how all your jubilee clips are all neatly inline, your a man to my own heart, attention to detail, I bet all your split pins are nicely trimmed, it’s like a signature of the work you have done. Thanks for a great presentation 👍

Thank you for the informative video. Hopefully, this will work with my TO30. I will have a go at it.

I am not a religious man but I have been trying to sort out the governor without knowing what I am doing and this video answers my paraders.

Excellent instruction! Clean engine! Thanks for taking the time to make the video...Cheers Tom Hudson, NY 1964 MF135

Absolutely the very best explanation and showing for governors I have ever seen. Thank you.

Thank you sir, you solved a big problem in my life! Good camera angles. Straight and clear infos.

didn't know anything about the governor, this really helped me on my to30, very well explanation of all the adjustments

Watching this video (many times over the last month) allowed me to sort out our TEA20 today. I followed your videos on rebuilding the TEA20 engine and finally it is running strong. We have owned the Fergie since 1980 and it is now running like a new one. Thank you Lance, you are a wealth of knowledge and your teaching style is so easy to follow.

Hi Lance, Just seen the latest video, a great explanation, I will run through it on my 1950 TEA 20 here in England, I'm slowly restoring and your videos have been giving me the confidence to get it done myself, It's been 30 years since I used to mess about with engines and i'm really enjoying it, I've just completed the tappets... thanks to you. Looking forward to the next. Thanks from the UK. Simon

Thanks Lance, your video and step by step instructions have enabled me to set the governor on my 1957 MF 35 petrol tractor, so that it preforms so much better. You are a GEM !

You’ve got that engine running nice and sweet 👍

This video is a lot more informative than the written instructions in my manual. Thanks, good job.

Thanks Dude. You just made my day. I have been having this problem for months on my tractor with no power kick when put under a load, your video just made it easy for me to fix and get her running much better. I now know too that my spring is just very worn out, so I ordered a new one and will be putting that in when it arrives. But for now she is running a lot better.

Thank you!!! Followed this video and even knowing nothing about tractors, got my MF35 running super smooth!

Lance Very well presented I first rebuilt some of those engines 50 + yrs ago , thank you

No doubt the best video out here for adjusting ferguson govenor. Good work!

Brilliant. Thank you. I will redrill it.....knowing little about tractors your videos are so helpful and now personal help! Superb. Thanks so much. Robert

I find that you get right in close and make it easy to see what you are doing. I have a 48 Ferguson to20. You have been a great help! Thanks!!

Hi Lance, great explanation. I started my restauration 2 years ago. But with your videos i'll solve any problem. In Germany its not as easy to get all this information. Many thanks. Best regards from the Baltic Sea. Stay healthy and happy

Very helpful video. My FE35 petrol/tvo runs fast on idle, so I'll be having a go at adjusting the governor following your instructions. Thank you.

My engine is ready to come out but I got shut down by winter, -12 at night and -2 F during the day. I did read the book on how to do it but it is always better when some one shows you and gives some extra tips not in the manual. I look forward to every post, they are always interesting and informative no matter what the topic. Even the weather! Have a great 2018!

G'day Lance what beaut looking Fergy it was built when I was born and it still looks better than me. Interesting video Lance thanks mate regards John.

Just set mine up this week after having the front end apart with leaking timing cover and govenor seal. I couldn't get it idling right, and finally worked out it was the vertical governor shaft not putting enough pressure on the horizontal governor arm!! I wound it out and now it's running like a dream 🙂. Just some advise for all the people seeing this. Thanks lance!!! Ur vids are amazing, and preserving many generations of tractor enthusiasts!!

Hi Lance . My name is John vanden Akker. I live in London , Ontario in Canada . Thankyou for the tutorial on governor settings. I have just purchased a 1952 tea 20 that has not run for ten years. My fergie is outside amd today's temperature is -17 celcius. Your videos and personality are always a gift for me to watch. Thank yours

Very helpful Lance, you clearly know your stuff, unlike many on KZfaq! ( I saw one recently where a bloke started to put the carby onto a TE20 back to front!)

Hi Lance Looks like my Xmas wish came true and couldn't have come soon enough as I was getting really lost in the manual explanation. I have watched all of your vids on Tea20 which a true God send, keep up the good work.

You've done a good job restoring your 35 there Lance.

Good explanation Lance, going to check over my TED tomorrow, Thanks.

Thank you for that movie. My Tea20 runs great again! Greeting from Sweden.

I have been watching your videos, I grew up on a farm with three brothers and a guy cousin and my dad and uncle had a tractor repair business. I worked on tractors for years enjoy watching your videos, can’t do much anymore being 70 some years old with arthritis Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you very much Bundy Bears 🐻 ❤❤ My Fergie 35, After following this amazing man and his video, I have saved myself a whole lot of $$$$'s !

Hi, your videos are very precious, a big thank from Switzerland, and I will hasten to adjust my old TEA20

Great video Lance ☺️ I've just rebuilt my fergi engine been in the motor trade long didn't know nothing about tractor even though come from a farming background but your video really helpful 💯👍👌🥰

Many thanks form New Zealand. VERY helpful and informative. Appreciated. 10/10.

Thans a lot Lance, after Mohammed Ali you are the greatest. You guided me a lot with some problems on my TEA 20. Thanks

Thanks for this Lance , my tea20 loves you

Thank you. Video was a Great Help. My first time working on a tractor.

Awsome. Very great explanation and advice. I will be trying this tomorrow.

Many thanks, the old grey Ferguson runs like brand new again!! Cheers Andy m. W.A

Thank you been fighting my Dexta petro going to try adjusting Governor tomorrow 👍

Thank you lance , helped me out - from Leon Guernsey, Channel Islands 🇬🇬

Mr Bears I too am having troubles with my rod. Where yours is sticky, mine is sloppy. I have looked behind where you stick it in the hole and it's just slopping around. After watching your video I see it can be adjusted, shall do it tomorrow. Thank you this is not the first time you videos have helped me. I have inherited a neglected 49 Fergie and I am determined to fix it, wouldn't be possible without your information, Thanks again.

Thank you Lance.That was a big help.

Yep, the TO20 needs carb rebuild. My dad didnt want me to touch it, But Im going to Touch It,leaking fuel!. Great video and Life Saver.Thanks

Great 🥰 help Lance I've managed to get my fergi running beautiful 👍

Thank you, I've been waiting for something like this. I have a Fordson Dexta with the Standard 87mm, and no petrol manuals exist for it, apparently. I'm located in Ontario Canada and will have to wait until the temperature gets a bit closer to freezing before I adjust it. :)

Happy new year Lance . This video has been posted just in time for me . The govenor was hung up inside the timing cover pulled all the front end off fitted a new govenor , put it back tougher but had now idea how to set it up . Alls good now as my ( phanny ) is running spot on cheers mate love your videos

My job for next weekend..... Thank you for the info.... brilliant.

Thanks lance,great video,.Somthing I dread touching.

Very helpful, .. I love all your videos ... Thank You.

mate you're a star! Just what i needed.

Happy New Year, Lance!

Jees lance, that motor sounded just like a radial aircraft engine starting up not a bleedin tractor, sounds nice. cheers, Derek

Awesome video! I hope it helps me. I rebuilt the carb on our to35 and pulled the clevis end off of the rod. I did measure the length but found out later I didn't get it back to previous length. I could only get tractor to start but not run. My kit instructions were terrible! My kit was from tractor supply. After searching KZfaq videos, I found that I didn't replace rubber seal on throttle shaft. When I tried to replace the seal, I popped out the brass piece that holds it in and lost it, but found it a few days later. I'll work on that as soon as rain stops today. Not sure if this seal prevented tractor from running. I originally rebuilt carb because something stuck open in carb and an entire tank of fuel drained out through carb from one evening after use to next afternoon after work. My carb was so gunked up, it looked like a kid made a mud ball. The inside looked like someone was using it to pan for gold. I had to soak it for two weeks in my parts washer. But, even after cleaning and new needle and seat, needle doesn't freely drop with float while bench testing for float drop measurement. Hopefully it will with fuel pushing on it. My kit doesn't have spring or clip on needle. A mechanic friend suggested making a clip from a paper clip. Also, throttle would never stay, always had to be held in place. So I removed long rod. Spring was broken into a few pieces. I replaced round gasket and cut down a generic spring. Now I need to get everything back together and adjust tension. This video should be of great assistance.

This video helped me so much. Thank you!

You are an excellent teacher! I like how you don't leave out little tidbits of information. I have always avoided any work involving governors because i just don't understand them. My TEA20 had this annoying issue with the throttle leaver always wanting to be in the idle position. Today, thanks to your video, I figured out that the previous owner installed the idle arm and spring upside down. So instead of sitting below the Throttle rod, it was over the top.. Hopefully that fixed it! Thank you so much from Canada!

thank you very much, your video helped me a lot.

Very many thanks Lance. This is a great video. I have a 1954 Massey Ferguson TO 35 that I got as a gift from a good friend of my mine, who left this world a year ago, and I have a great time getting it to run right. I think my girl-friend Fergie is more fun to work with than my wife. For one thing, Fergie does not nag. And by the way, those who think I have an accent, I have a lance to prove I don't. If you would spare me your comments, I do not have to go looking for my spear, which in all likelihood my wife has thrown in the trash.

Thanks mate My TEA has been giving me the shits. After rebuilding the carby all it does is hunt. I’ll give your treatment a go and see if we can get it sorted Cheers Rusty

very helpful I am going to try that to get it to run smooth

thanks you have been a great help.

Awesome..Just at the right time..Thanks mate

Thanx! Got me to understand how it works.

Sorted my Standard powered Ford Dexta out too - Cheers.

Another good vid Lance

This stuff is awesome, i do hope after my rebuild she purrs cause its been awhile

THANks man big help!

Great video. Thanks.

Thank you sir. Great help

Great help thanks a Lance.

Another spot on explanation on a subject which up until now always worried me to get involved with , I am off to check my TED20 this morning as it has suddenly started to cut out when I go from medium throttle to idle , I hope this maybe the reason why unless you know of any other reason .brilliant video once again , thank you very much

Very well done. Thanks

Great help thank you

very well detailed thanks

My Ferguson FE 35 idles very high and sounds like the radiator fan wants to take off when stationary or on a downhill. My throttle leaver does not do much. I think this video will solve my problem! Thank you.

Very good video, thank you Sir

That is very useful information, my governor shaft seems a bit sticky, so something is not right in the timing cover I think, looks like I have to take off the front axle and have a look in there. Chris B.

Greatly informative easy watching

Terrific video - thank you! I'm going to give this a try on my 52 TEA20 to rule the governor out as the cause of the surging I experience on and off. Tractor idles fine and drives ok but when under load as when towing something heavy it will surge repeatedly unIess I hold the throttle full open.

Thanks man!

Thank you 👍🏻

good job for old bloke

Hi Lance. Great video. I think I followed it properly :) Do you know, should the throttle handle stay where you leave it or should it (like mine) feel like it is spring opposed after half way, so it comes back to half way if you let it go?

Thank You

Thank you I kinda remember how to but I was 16/20 working at dealership and I was not sure if I remember correctly and I’m 72 now

Brilliant instruction.....thanks from uk.... just advice please....does the actuator rod from the dashboard to the governor linkage go through the hole in the thermostat housing as my ted20 had parts missing and the original rod seems too thick to go through the hole in a new housing I bought and the hole seems angled down don’t seem to line up with the level rod....mine had the housing missing completely so don’t know how it goes....help please. Robert

Thanks for this video. We were missing some of the parts for the governor, including the compensation spring at the top and the small arm. We located replacements. It’s not obvious from videos, manuals, or diagrams what the compensating spring is attached to on the fuel tank mount/radiator end. There’s a small hole at the top of that bracket, but the spring is so stretched when there, there’s no way to adjust thst it just touches. I don’t have the bracket on the separate tractor you show. Any links to diagrams or photos to show what the compensating spring mounts to on a ~51 TO20? Thanks!

Hi Lance, I just did this today. The screw on the timing case, I screwed it in half a turn from where it just touches. Decided to split the difference, tractor seems alright. The book says 450 rpm for idle speed? seems low, what do you set the idle to?

Very helpful, I have a TED 20 and after it has been working for a while if it is under load or going up hill it starts to seriously loose power.If I pull out the choke and that puts on the throttle away it goes no problem. Am I right to think I should adjust my governor?Thanks Hywel

Thanks Lance. I’ve been trying to diagnose a throttle problem I have where the throttle always backs itself off to about the 25% position when running. I try to hold the throttle at about 75% and can feel what may possibly be the spring on the vertical rod pushing the throttle back. Could this be the problem? The friction disc near the choke control is fully tensioned.

Lance Great Video, very helpful. I have TEA 20 1948 model. In video you show lots of movement in the governor arm at time 4:29. I have very little movement maybe 6mm at the pin location. Does this mean i have a issue within? Do i need to remove the timing cover and inspect? What will i be looking for? Thanks in advance.

Mr.Bundy ,Thank you so much for your Videos and the Time you put in to Produce them for people like me. I do have a question ? Is the Throttle rod (The 3/8 rod coming from dash ) supposed to be long enough to go through the gas tank support for the U-Bolt to hook up to the linkage from the front side of the tank support. On a 135

Really like you videos been a lot of help, ive got a 1959 TO35 with the standard C 4 cylinder engine and cav dpa. the problem is ive lost my governor spring settings, ive got it started after pump build but below half throttle will shut it off and full throttle does not feel like "full" tach is inop untill a i get more parts. any idea what the governor settings should be on the standard C? it runs good just throttle position is way off.. maybe my max fuel setting incorrect ? need some help?

Great Video .I have a Massey 35 making a loud popping sound with loose of power .Help please!! any suggestions .

Bundy For a TE20 I require the governor linkage and spring from hand throttle rod to governor linkage. Do you know if these are still available and from where I have run out of places to look if you can help that would be appreciated. Regards Wayne

Hi Lance, love your videos, the setting of the governor in your case seems pretty Straight forward, however my fe35 has not been rebuilt so I was wondering if you have any tips on goner adjustment for an older tractor as my governor weights keep getting stuck at full fling when I adjust to your/factory settings. I feel I’m close to resolving the issue but it keeps happening . Thanks in advance Regards Kerry

I watched this video a half dozen times. I still can't get my tractor to idle. If it idles , it won't rev and the governor does not call for more throttle when under load. I have to settle for one or the other. I go for no slow idle. Thanks for the video. It is very good. I just wish it worked for me.

Thank you I just bought a Te20 that needs a lot of TLC and your videos give me a lot of information can you tell us what the difference between the Te tea to and the others Thank you

Very well done and a VERY helpful video. And now a question. Where can I buy linkage parts? My 1/4" adjustment rod is broken just above the lower "fixed" adjustment nut. Yes I can use a piece of all thread but it won't be as strong and I want an original look. Thanks and keep cranking out those videos! You/they are a LOT of help!

Thanks for that. I have a MF35 with a new governor but could not figure the throttle linkages out. Works like a champ now. Any ideas on a Ford 2000/3000 (not sure which) petrol governor. Im trying to figure this one out as well and your video has given me some great things to try on the Ford.
