    Update: The bottom two hinge joints were the culprit. The plane had to be jacked up to offload the joints before they could be greased properly. Lord was right! It was not squeaky shock disks.

    Lord is recommending caster oil or P-80. I'll try to figure out how to get that to the "center stem".
  3. Derrickearly
    Maybe, but the squeak has a rubber on metal sound to it.
  4. Derrickearly
    Lord also did not recommend silicon oil. They did recommend P-80 emulsion or castor oil.

    Wrote to tech support at Lord, they have never heard of the shock disks squeaking. Therefore, they didn't have a lubrication to recommend. I asked what was the elastomer, and he responded with "a natural rubber blend". That rules out using engine oil.

    I should have mentioned that the gear was greased today; however, the squeak in the donuts remains.

    My left main is squeaking a lot. Will someone recommend a safe lubricant to use that will not damage the elastomer please? Update: All fittings were greased today, and the squeak remains.

    I could not figure out how to keep my N number without committing some sort of insurance fraud. Anyway, it's too late now. The $'s are already out the door.

    I'm looking for prop shop recommendations. Next year my 10 year propeller overhaul will be due. The prop has to be zero timed, not inspect and repair. One of the pleasures of operating in the great white north. Thank you in advance!

    Update: Mooney came through. The factory part is shipping presently! I was expecting another 8 weeks.

    What are the specifications for the tube? OD, ID, and material?
  12. Derrickearly
    I sent them an email via their website. Hopefully, I'll hear from them on Monday.

    This is the plan for the new part.

    Looking for a trim tube with part number 915026-009 for my 1976 M20F. It’s -56 in the parts catalog figure.

    Looking for ideas on installing my fire extinguisher. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F5CK0S0?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    The new replacement rod antenna resolved my transponder issue. The old one was bent previously, so I guess that damage caught up with me.
  19. Derrickearly
    Maybe a failed antenna could kill my transponder. We never operated it without the antenna connected.
  20. Derrickearly
    I trust Chris. We have already tried the simple stuff.
  21. Derrickearly
    It’s already with him. We’re going to try a new antenna tomorrow.

    I just had a surefly installed in my M20F. Now, my gtx345 is not transmitting. Did I just get lucky, or is the surefly causing some interference with the transponder? Update: A new transponder antenna resolved the issue.
  23. Derrickearly
    Looks like Mooney will deliver.
  24. Derrickearly
    Great idea! I'll give that a try.
  25. Derrickearly
    Great idea! Thank you! Unfortunately, the fitting that I'm looking for goes into where the plug (item 16) goes.
