If you can't find information anywhere else, you can always try a farm tractor mechanic. I have a '58 Farmall Cub that had a bad governor a few years back. A local tractor dealer mechanic gave me the address of a place, in Alabama I think, to send it off the be rebuilt. Sorry I can't find the information now, I'm terrible at filing things.

Subject: Re: [MV] Governor question for you REO hotshots
Hi J ,<br> The most likely setup will be a centrifugal governor ! This will be<br>an assembly of fly weights loading a spring ! When the force exerted by the<br>weights equals the opposite force of the spring then equilibrium is the<br>governed speed ! By adjusting the spring loading one can alter the governed<br>speed . A system of levers , links and more springs will connect the<br>rotating bits to the carb and control the speed .<br>Now I have a question , how does the engine know which governor is in<br>command , there must be something to bring in the crane governor !<br>If the TM is no help then you need someone who can look at the bits and<br>fathom out how it all works , then fix and adjust it ! SORRY I`m to far<br>away ! UK<br><br> Good Luck Noel<br><br><br>===Mil-Veh is a member-supported mailing list===<br>To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: <mil-veh-off@mil-veh.org><br>To switch to the DIGEST mode, send e-mail
