Governor Control Lever Return Spring Petrol Major

Post by Miles »

Does anyone have the specifications for this spring? It is the one inside
the housing. Ford lists it as part no E12CL9.

Thanks in advance

I have a fairly extensive fordson literature collection and found my own answer in
1954 service repair manual...

GOVERNOR (Petrol & Vap. Oil)
  • Type - Mechanical
  • Diameter of balls - .875"-.876" (22.23-22.25mm)
  • Length of spring - 1.62" (41.148mm)
  • Test length of spring - 2.83" (71.88mm)
  • Test pressure of spring - 5lb 8oz ± 2oz (2.3Kg 226g ± 56.7g)

Might be of interest to someone
