This is a VERY nice old Pickering 2 1/2 inch governor for a steam traction or stationary engine. This size governor was generally for 20-30hp engines. It is in excellent condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs that I can see or know of. Everything moves as it should and the gears look to be in great shape. The pulley shaft has very slight wear. The pulley shaft is about 21 inches long (overall width) and overall the governor stands about 30 inches tall. This governor mounts with a 4-hole flange but also has internal threads in that flange so it is dual-application. All of the guts are in the steam chest and I don’t think this governor would take much extra work if any to be put in to service. Are extremely difficult to find in the wild or even at swap meets so if you’ve been looking for one don’t miss your chance on this one. It will likely be a long time before another one turns up and it probably won’t be this nice. I can be reached at 262 573 1931 if you’d like to talk about it. The pictures tell the story.
