I closed a couple weeks ago. Thank you for reminding me about the post. I don’t remember TT. OH was done in 2010. Choice was new prop, new hub, or 100hr NDT. Since the purpose was time building the latter was not feasible. The cost difference between a new hub and new prop wasn’t significant enough so I chose new prop. Anyway, good luck with your sale. If you’re looking for data points, here are mine: I bought it in 2021 for $67,000 and closed at $62,000 after the prebuy. It needed a nose truss repair, and the exhaust and spinner were cracked. #3 showed a low compression and then subsequent tests a normal compression. After about 15 hours of flying after the purchase, I had to replace #3. The exhaust valve guide split in half during cruise. $11,000 for the prop (free install). $15,000 for the EDM 900 $10,000 for first annual - new tires, replaced nose truss, replaced all scat tubing, had to hire a welder to remove a busted bolt on the alternator belt bracket, etc etc - fixing previous owners deferred items basically. Listed the plane for $82,000 which I felt was overpriced and I did this on purpose. I did wish to recover some of the cost I put in since this would have been cost deferred to the next buyer if I hadn’t. I accepted an offer of $78,000 and agreed to a small concession to bring it to a closing cost of $76,500 after prebuy. For how much I put in I feel this was a reasonable price. $75,000 was my target. peace, ~ Dan

George, I am interested. As with the other person, I’d like to see some pictures before committing. I’m also not sure about that part number when I search it it comes back as “torque tube” My parts catalog lists the Nose Truss Assembly, Retracting as 540002-503 (503 for C and E models, 501 non-retracting D models, and 505 for F models) ~ Dan

Not sure but it looks like “Wheat”. 11/16/1964

Yeah, the serial number makes it a 1965. It’s had the two rectangular side windows as well as the quarter turns. I think my confusion is that the insurance has it listed as ‘64 and if you look it up on flight aware it says ‘64 as well. Mainly, it’s me confusing myself. It’s a ‘65.

Thank you, Clarence. That’s the word I am getting - 8-32 and 10-32. And these are 1/2 inch? I suppose I can just order a number of each from Spruce.

Hey folks, 1964 M20E I’ve had to take off my cowling a number of times lately as I’m having some avionics work done. The screws holding in each side of the access panels and the small center strip seem to be randomly sized. When I put the panels back on, I’m having to try the different screws when the one I choose doesn’t fit. It looks like I have two different sizes (see picture). I took them to a hardware store and they measure M5 and M4 but I’m not sure if that matters. The larger of the two doesn’t typically fit so I’d like to order more of the smaller ones. The parts catalog I received with the plane shows the cowling for 1965 and a screw - AN526-1032R8. Side note: The parts catalog says serial numbers 470-831 is 1965. Mine is #476 but my registration indicates 1964. I think it was completed in November. I assume this catalog is correct for me. What page would I find the access panels on? It’s not the cowling I need screws for but the access panels (pictured). Is the AN526-1032R8 the correct size for these? I know these holes get worn and different sizes may fit but I’m looking for the original screw size. Thanks, ~ Dan

I am aware of the PCU5000 as an option. With the modifications needed it would double my repair cost. If the plane were at my home base and I had long term plans with it I’d make the switch. Right now, I haven’t even gotten the plane home from purchasing it over a month ago.

I have heard the same but the prop shop I called for advice (Dan at Lasar referred me to) said that the Woodward cannot be rotated as you described. The guys who sold me the Woodward said that the McCauley and the Edo-Aire mounting holes line up. I don't fully trust them so we'll see. I was told that the Edo-Aire and Woodward are basically identical in shape and the control cable bracket should fit without modification and it doesn't fit at all so...

For what it’s worth, we are having the shop take back the woodward and send us a McCauley. That should be a direct replacement for the EdoAire so we’ll see what happens.

That one is a little hard to answer because I am not with the plane. He said that it installs onto the engine fine but the control arm bracket doesn’t line up. That’s the best answer I can give.

Has anyone replaced the old Edo-Aire governor with a Woodward governor? My mechanic says the current control arm bracket doesn’t match up so I spoke with Dan at Lasar and ordered the bracket he said I needed. Mechanic received it today and it’s the same bracket as the old one. Mechanic is aware of the 6 screws and the ability to turn the case but he said every configuration doesn’t work. The Woodward is part # B210-345. Dan said he’d send me part #660117-000. The new one says 660117-001 but I doubt the 001 is a big difference. We’re going on a month here trying to figure this out. It’s driving me nuts. I’m a new owner and the plane is at a remote airport - governor quit on us on the flight home. What I can’t seem to figure out is if that specific woodward is the correct part number for my plane and I’m more confused because when I spoke with the shop that replaced the old one (Aircraft Accessories of Oklahoma) and explained how it doesn’t fit the bracket, he said he could make me a different case for the governor. Is that even a thing? We’ve tried rotating the case and even putting the bracket on backwards. He said, he’s tried everything and they just don’t line up. I chose the Woodward because I was told it was a “direct replacement” for the Edo-Aire and the PCU would require significant modifications. The PCU dealer told me that I’d be better off going with the Woodward if my mechanic hasn’t done a PCU conversion before and since I don’t plan on keeping the plane for a significant amount of time the extra cost wasn’t worth it. I’d love to get my plane home someday. Any help is appreciated. I attached picture of the Woodward and brackets.
