Description
If your old Ford N-series tractor is hunting or surging at idle, or the engine speed keeps wandering when you’re trying to hold a steady throttle setting, chances are good that compensating spring in the governor needs attention. This little spring plays a big role in keeping your engine running smooth and steady, working behind the scenes to fine-tune the governor’s response to load changes.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-manufactured spring with 4.95″ free length for proper governor operation
- Correct spring rate to dampen governor oscillations and prevent hunting
- Quality steel construction that maintains consistent tension over time
- Direct replacement that restores original governor performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This compensating spring fits Ford 8N, 9N, and 2N tractors from the late 1930s through the early 1950s. Whether you’re using that old Ford for mowing, brush hogging, or running a PTO-driven saw or generator, steady engine speed is crucial for good performance and to prevent damage to driven equipment.
Made to Last
The governor system on these classic Fords is simple but effective when all the parts are in good shape. This spring is made from quality spring steel that’s designed to handle thousands of compression and extension cycles without losing its tension or breaking from metal fatigue.
Good to Know
Governor work can be a bit tricky, so if you’re not comfortable with the adjustment procedure, this is a good job for someone familiar with Ford N-series tractors. The compensating spring works with other governor components, so if you’re experiencing persistent problems, you might want to consider a complete governor rebuild kit.
