Hi Jerry, I spoke with Randy from East Coast and he said they have reviewed the hub and it has some damage that cannot be repaired during OH. He cannot to approve this hub for use in the OH of my propeller. I was very disappointed to hear this but I must trust his judgement. I am sorry to say that I cannot purchase this item from you. I thank you for the opportunity and I wish you well. Thanks for your help. Please let everyone know I am still in the market for that "B" hub! Sincerely, Mike

Hi Jerry, I will call them tomorrow and see what the word is. Thanks

Hi Jerry, Any word from East Coast Yet or did they say how long it would take to review? Thanks, Mike

920-892-7066 is home phone and mniver@frontier.com is email. Both are good ways to contact me when hub is approved at East Coast. Or you can continue to use this discussion forum. Seems like it is harder and harder to find this discussion each time I return to the Mooneyspace. Can you recommend a procedure that is direct? Thanks, Mike

Spoke with Randy at East Coast. He can pick up and deliver my prop at a local FBO and will do the rebuild at a reasonable cost. So East Coast Propeller Service it is. Please send the prop hub to Randy at East Coast at: 2079 Main St, Lititz, PA 17543 for the hub inspection. He will call us when it is done and we can finalize with payment. Thanks again!

Stand Bye, I will call East Coast/ Sensenich for their quotation and get a feel for them as well. I will need to talk to the mechanic to get some feedback. I will get back to you as soon as I can talk directly and have made a final decision. Thank You, Mike

Hi Jerry, I have about 20 hrs of flying to do before my prop is required for the overhaul. I am willing to get the hub inspection, hub purchased, and paid for prior to my OH however. Feel free to get it sent out to Stallings next week and I will pay you as soon as he confirms the OH condition for purchasing. You can tell him my expectation is to do the overhaul 2-4 weeks after approval and payment. I have several recommendations for Stallings Propeller saying they are very good to work with. Are you Ok with sending the hub to Stallings for his approval? Not sure why you recommend a large prop shop like Eastern, can you elaborate? Thanks, Mike

Thank You so much for helping me out with this issue. I agree you should send this hub to the prop shop to confirm they will accept it. I have Cody Stallings at Stallings Aircraft Propeller LLC, in Wynne, AK as my first choice. He has confirmed that he can make a determination if the hub has not had a prop strike, damaged and is certifiable and can be used in a prop OH for my Hartzell. Please send the hub and all parts included in the sale so he has them. No hurry so you can send it when you are able in a few weeks for inspection at: Attn: Cody Stallings Stallings Aircraft Propeller, LLC 1715 Falls Blvd. Wynne, AR 72396 870-208-5198 Please let me know what he says when he gets back to you about the hub condition. Looking forward to getting this all done, Thank You, Mike

I am looking to do this anywhere from September to December. Not in a great hurry but getting all the parts and getting ready for now. I just need to be sure the prop shop that does the overhaul will do so with this hub without additional cost that I do not know about. Bottom line is a need to know for sure that the prop shop, probably Propeller Service in Lake Zurich, IL will rebuild my prop with your hub. Then, can I return this hub with full refund if the shop will not use it? ( I think this is unlikely but possible). Of course I will pay for return shipping. It would be good to have a picture of the hub and a picture of the logbook entries to show the prop shop to get their blessing. You can send the images to my e-mail at mniver@frontier.com. Are you OK with my offer?

Ok, I believe you know what I need. I understand that this is a hub without damage history and is the correct style. I am offering you $2200 plus $35 shipping for this "B" suffix serial # hub. My intent is to have this installed on my top prop when it is OH'd. Do you think I need it to be yellow tagged for this or is the log book sufficient? Can you get it yellow tagged? Not sure I totally understand the requirements for OH and yellow tag parts. Please let me know if that is acceptable. Thanks for your help. Mike

I have a serial # with no suffix. It is 25 years old or better.

So where do you go to get this inspection done? Many shops are not doing this any more

Where do you go to get this done. Many shops will nbot do if prop has not been overhauled and many will not do on wing at all.

I will make you an offer. Do you have a photo and some history for this hub before I consider an offer. Thanks, Mike

daver328, Can you tell me who is the contact at Sensinich to get a quotation for this mod? Seems odd that the competition is offering up a solution? Are you happy with your mod and how long have you been operating with this fix? I have asked Hartzell to perform this fix and they pretty much talked me out of it. because they said it has a high probability of leaking. This did not make sense to me since it is one of their service bulletins and why would they offer a fix that they do not have confidence in? This is a crazy situation that I am trying hard to stay calm about.
