Jason,
Maybe this will help.

You will need to tighten the cable clamp on the throttle bracket in accordance with the proper throttle control setting. That should hold up the throttle bracket in place. I have done this to mine. I'am no expert. But I can say that I'am in the ballpark, and operating smoothly. I keep the throttle cable well oiled for eazy movement, helps the setting points. Make sure you snug up the throttlebracket in place before you tighten the clamp screw. Hopefully a member can you give more insight.

thanks.......I have read these, but still kinda confused....... From what I can see the bracket needs to be tighented by the big nut inbetween the govener arm and bracket....

I have found that when you tighten the bushing nut, the speed disc becomes tight. When that happens, the throttle bracket becomes tight. My understanding is that the throttle bracket is a free floating wedge{forked around the cross shaft} between the two.{motor block and speed disc} When you tighten the cable clamp, you are pulling towards the cross shaft, thus moving the speed disc. Thats where your operating range is fielded. More importantly, is making sure your governor arm is set in accordance with the cross shaft. Then you take it from there.

On my other 2 tractors, the throttle bracket does not move at all. So is the throttle bracket supposed to move?

ok cool, i reset gov, then adjusted the throttle arm and seem to have it pretty good now, the carb is dirty so need to fix that for final adjustment. hopefully i gots it now !!!!!
