 Does anyone FLYING have the Hartzell Governor - Vans number:  PROP GOV HZ IO-540?  If so, any issues?  Set up, oil leaks, RPM hunting, or just any performance or regrets for not getting the MT or some other governor?  Having trouble understanding why if we bought a Hartzell Prop from Vans that we would not use a Hartzell Governor.  In the FWF kit they automatically ship the MT:   P-860-3.  I called MT and they said it would work just fine and they would be happy to walk me through the set up procedures if needed.  So I would appreciate some active feedback from some FLYING 10's with this Hartzell Governor.  I believe in my 6 that we used a Woodward (sp?) Governor.  Over 1000 hours and many years, absolutely no problems.

   Thanks much,

I have 700 hr+ on my mt gov without any issues. There is a simple initial setup for the lever position and limits.  that is it. 



I am not sure why van supplies mt instead of Hartzel but I suspect that with all things Van, value is the factor. 



Do not archive.

Vans randomly supplies both.  My Hartzell governor came in the FWF kit.  I don't know the logic they use to determine which vendor they ship. 



If you do get a Hartzell, you'll need to replace the arm. Which Van doesn't include and costs another $27.

"a few weeks from flying"  that sounds promising.    Enjoy

I have 120+ hours on stock Vans YIO-540, 2 blade Hartzell, and Hartzell governor from Vans. No problems. I asked Vans for this governor, as I recall I think it was the same price as the MT.



You do NOT need a new arm. You do need to re-orient the arm, easily done. Hartzell gave instructions after an email request.

Mine was set for 2650 rpm out of the box. I left it there.



My hangar neighbor also has a -10 with the same Hartzell set up, a few fewer hours. No issues for him, either.

I have the Hartzell governor.  You have to replace the arm if you are using the throttle quadrant.  If you do not, you will get about half the travel on the quadrant, and half the leverage.  Yes, it will work with the stock arm, but it looks unprofessional when used in conjunction with the quadrant. 

I have not had any issues after 150 hours.

 Where did you get the Hartzell governor replacement arm? I am using the standard one from Hartzell with the throttle quadrand and it works well but you are right. It only has half the travel on the quadrant. Leon

I called Hartzell, and $27 later I had the part.
