Default Help Me Identify Prop Governor...

Anyone recognize this governor?



We bought a wrecked RV6 to part out... when we pulled this engine off I didn't examine the governor in detail, but I couldn't find a plate, or anything stamped on it. There were numbers on the control lever, but of coarse I didn't write them down. Anyone know what brand this is?

Kinda looks a bit like my McCauley, but it's been years since I actually looked at it.

Default Woodward

Nate,
It's a Woodward [now Ontic] brand governor. I just looked at mine to compare.
You can find more info about it at the link below. See
