[QUOTE="kyhamoge, post: 63386, member: 8687"] Job is complete...she "purrs like a kitten"! A PARTS MANUAL will suffice for most anyone attempting to replace a governor spring. I actually downloaded a SERVICE MANUAL for this machine...nearly 1000 pages of information, and nary a word about governor springs! I found that by attaching a "safety line" to both springs with some very thin gauge hobby wire, and "threading" through opening where the oil fill cover was removed, the springs could be guided into a postition where they could be easily attached to the governor lever...it worked quite well. p.s. My Bobcat dealer tried to discourage me as well, with the fear of "losing a spring down inside the housing". I figured if I can lose one, so can their mechanics - except he gets $100/hr. to retrieve it! :-O [/QUOTE]
