one of my main questions is: Does this governor turn independently from the shaft or should they lock in somehow? The only thing not shown in this image is the o-ring that holds it on the far top left. and the washer/shim is what I had in between the base of the basket and the bottom of the...

Here is how I have it right now. This is how it was except a shim was misplaced under weight basket

I believe it is in the correct groove, i'll try and get a better picture. In this image it shows the tombstone riding in front of the thrust sleeve(14). I thought I had assembled it riding IN the thrust sleeve but it appears to be in the correct position. The only thing I think I have wrong...

I did a double check for spring position as I took photos before to make sure it got back into the same place. I tried to get a pic of the tombstone riding on the shaft by the flywheel weight contraption. I may have to wait till a nice day and pull it all again. I can kinda force it to run and...

Good evening, I finally got around to pullin my pump and watched several YouTube tutorial's on how to do it. This is on a 3 cyl perkins The good news is the leak seems to be fixed and it started! Bad news is it goes full rpm after it starts and I have to kill it by pulling fuel stop. I am...

May be a bit late, but a small boat style fuse/distribution box may help in the rewire process. Being a diesel, the wiring is pretty simple and can be done in small bits or "zones" gauge lights can all be daisy chained together and tied into the main light switch (no need to tap off the...

Thanks, I was unsure as the m7040 worked differently.

I am borrowing my father in laws tractor and I have to push clutch in when I move from forward to N to reverse and back. My mom's M7040 does not need clutch in, just shift and go! Is it supposed to work this way? It is a manual transmission fyi. I tried Googling an adjustment but thought I...

5 min of inconvenience would have prevented this mistake. So far I am lucky in that no fingers were severed just lacerated! And so far feeling and movement is still there. This happend on Saturday from a chop saw of which I just put a finishing blade on to make a few cuts. Thinking ill use it...

So I finally got around to changing the filters on the MF35 with a Perkins. These filters and canisters were horrible, perhaps 15 years old or older!! After cleaning the canister some I discovered why it had a slow leak, I thought it was gasket related. Well it seems the water mix in bottom...

From pros and home owner views to just general life experience what are your views on "are they worth it" type questions. Our little farm needs a structure to raise some animals in and my wife keeps seeing those "0 down same as cash" type sheds/buildings on the side of the road that seem to be...

So as things go, families grow and soon your budget septic tank is undersized for the the task. So I got to thinking, what if I just divert the greywater to another tank to let the septic tank do it's job better/longer. I already diverted the washing machine to keep the chemicals from going...

Here you can see the Rusty Nut that has the mushroomed end. It appears to be a locking nut with two triangle looking indention's on opposite sides. The new nuts screw all the way on very easily and without a lock washer they may vibrate loose over time. Even with Locktite on this particular...

Here is the nut that was sold to me by my Local Bolt/Nut shop.
