Removed engine from mower, removed pulley's and sump cover. Replaced Governor, crank shaft seal and sump cover gasket with new bolts. Make sure crank shaft is positioned correctly or sump cover is difficult to install forcing sump cover on will damage governor gear.

    Looked everywhere for the governor, finally found it here! Great price for a new product. The piece arrived on time and I got the motor back together and for a 1980' s model Grasshopper mower it runs like new! Thanks ereplacement

    Possible false advertising.
    All the pictures show all 3 parts. The diagram has them all in one box. Yet when its ordered its only the gear that arrives.
