Hi all,

    It has been a long time since I have been on this site, but I need to know what I need so I can replace the part. I looked in the part manuals for the D4 7U but did not see the part I need in the manual.  My D4 is a 7U that was built around October of 1955, the same month and year I came off the line too. The enclosed picture shows the broken part. I do not know what the name of the part is, if you know please tell me. If you have a replacement part like the one I need, I would be more then happy to purchase it. Thank you.

I think they refer to it as an auxiliary control lever and was an added accessory on most models. There was a handle or knob where the threads were broken off and one could weld or braze a treated rod to the end and fix it. They are sometimes hard to find. Just an extra handy handle to control the injection pump/throttle.

PS:  Go the wanted and for sale forum and ask for the Governor auxiliary control lever.  That is how I found one for my D4.

Hi Hank,
The level in in the parts book under "fuel pump and governer control" part number is 2h4376 the knob is 7f8092.

Looks to me like there is enough of the lever left, that you could just cut some more threads and put on a new knob.

I think Josh has a great idea to cut some more threads and get a knob. You might have to grind a little off to keep the proper OD on the threads but it looks like it wouldn't be much. Good luck.

I have done as others mentioned. Use a die and thread enough to add the knob;welded a "leg" from a discarded lever/control; cut off the head of a NF bolt and welded on as well.
Yes, because they are a pain to source at times, so you do what works at the time! JM

i dont know about that knob, but the handles as used on the clutches are still available via the dealer. i would go to the local industrial supply or auto parts joint and get a generic knob and a bit of all thread to suit and weld it to the governor lever.
