Then I would have thought you would have noticed a loss of the governor.
You can't. It was a known issue with those engines. Now that the governor gear fell out, it will have gotten chewed up on it's way down the motor. I've seen one or two that didn't get obliterated, but it's rare. The pin unless you can find it is NLA, so unless you can find one, or have it made.... You will have to completely disassemble the motor to install.... it's not worth it. The housing won't hold a new pin anyway, so it will be a lesson in adaption and machining. I would be surprised if that is the only hole in the motor. Look below that on the right side of the block (your left if your standing in front looking at it). May be another hole there.
Look for another used engine, buy a new one. The Kohler V-twins are a suitable replacement. As are the Vanguards.
Looks like your missing some tin work as well.....
