Tim, your wise to bolt the manifold, I do it as standard procedure and you can sneak the manifold out the side. I use grade 8 bolts with never seize and copper washers on the top just in case.
I think the way you did it is pretty much standard procedure for governor install. Work your shims to get the heel of the gears and the backlash even. It is a battle sometimes. I read somewhere you want no more than one half inch of rotation in the fan? Anyway if it is a bit tight it will run in when you run the tractor some. I have ran mine a bit and it is still holding about one half inch fan rotation. I contemplated going with a new "gas" manifold but trying to keep it as I found it I blasted the old one and painted it.
Probably a piece of pump packing would seal the shaft, don't think their big leakers anyways. When I overhauled my 520 all I could find was high altitude ( high compression ) Pistons, ran dandy but when you shut it off it would diesel and keep running. I'd have to leave it in gear and drag the clutch.
Coming along nicely thanks for letting us tag along!!
glad you enjoyed

Thanks Tim...things are coming together!

I would have kept the manifold but it was way to thin to be of any value.

The company I worked for made the felt and cut the plugs for that company. 👍🎅🏻
That's interesting
