UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Ted’s got an NOS Novi variable speed governors for sale on eBay. He has two others he’d be happy to sell outside of eBay. See his contact info below.
“They are in very good condition with the Novi units themselves being NOS. I have put together three last complete setups for CJ2As- 3As or any Lhead equipped universal Willys . There complete with Governor , correct L Head mounting bracket, original Dash T handle and control assembly with exact copies of King Seeley style Wire and correct Carb Links.
The unit on Ebay Im sending the link for has the early style Dash assembly . I would be happy to sell the last remaining units outside of Ebay if anyone is interested. Feel free to contact me directly willysted@charter.net or call with any questions or specific Willys PTO requests.
Do you perchance know of anyone who may have parts for linkage for the Novi?
Hi Stewart,
Unfortunately, I don’t know of any parts sources off hand. It looks like Novi’s were used on both Jeeps and Tractors. I would suggest the following:
1) Email Ted using the email posted above in the text to see if he has parts governors or know where to get parts.
2) Post to the CJ-2A forum to see if anyone knows: https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/forums.html
3) Post to Yesterdays Tractors forum (post about Novi here) … maybe someone will know https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=nboard&th=1001048
I hope that helps,
– Dave
If you are referring to the ball-and-socket type links I suggest a search for “quick release throttle linkage parts” as I was quickly able to find parts that look like the bottom link in the above photo.
