This is a real nice original Pickering governor for an early gas prairie tractor or possibly a steam tractor. It is in excellent original condition and seems to have very little wear. It measures about 13 inches long overall. It mounts with 4 holes on a 1 11/16 square bolt pattern. I presume it is for a horizontal application as the oil cups are vertical when the governor is horizontal. The arm has a ball and socket for the carburetor linkage that looks to be a factory setup and not cobbled together. Everything seems to work as it should. It says “800 Rev” on the top brass ring. I believe this is a very hard to find governor and could possibly have been used on a variety of early tractors. These Pickering governors, especially the specialty ones, 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.
