Tractor Power
I just overhauled my 1948 cub, everything checks out, but it has no power in 3rd gear at all. I am at a loss as to what to look for. Can someone give me some clues as to what to check out.

John - is the governor responding to load changes?
If so, re-check the timing. It really sounds like the governor is not working.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
