I've always loved reading your threads in the past... I'm pumped to come across another.

I inherited a gerstner tool box that was my grandfathers, he worked at general motors for his entire career. I love it.. I have it as a decor piece in my living room.

I'm lucky enough that for a career I get to do every part of a propeller overhaul or repair on a wide variety of hamilton standards, including the ones that are used on a DC3, the Lancaster, B25, C130, Beaver, Buffalo etc.

I don't work at HS, I just work on all HS stuff at a prop shop. :)

One of the rare occasions the customer didn't want the scrap, so I lucked out. So yeah, not really, no. Haha

I bought some propellers from Texas -



they're about 4' each, my guess is that they're off something like a twin beech -

something like this:


Those look like Hartzell blades to me. I think there's conversions, but the props on that Beech are Hamilton Standard. I work in a prop shop (specifically on Hamilton Standard stuff). If you're looking for Hamilton Standard stuff, the blades will have a set of steel thrust washers on the shank. They transfer the load from the fillet of the blade to the barrel, and are the surfaces the bearing rides on.

DC3's typically rock a 23E50 prop.

E; more specifically, we did a prop for a beech 18 recently, that one is running 22D30 props. Individual blade assembly numbers 6533A-18.

I didn’t see it when I went through the unread posts quickly, and I don’t know how if you can/or how to insert
