    Hi Kerry, Do you have the aux tank in the baggage? If so, do you have a placard on the fuel selector you could share a picture of? Thanks, David

    Is it an M20A or B?
  3. Sabremech
    Since I recently acquired a 56 M20 I thought it might be worthwhile to learn from those who have one or had one in the past. Any other early M20 owners on MooneySpace? David

    Hi Don, I find the ground situation completely different now that I have a wood wing Mooney. David

    I did four cowling modifications initially when I started my project. I’m still working on two different cowlings but am in the process of moving right now. Many other issues with composite shops have hampered progress for quite a while but I am too far into it and too much money invested to walk away from it. Thanks, David

    Might be time to put it on the scales and get an accurate weight.

    It can be welded. I fixed one last year on a friends J with the exact same failure point. David

    Here’s a couple of pictures of the elevator I have. It was on the copilot side on my bird but I believe it can be flipped over and installed on either side by changing the elevator horn.

    I have an elevator off of the 66C that I use to own. A small bit of rash on the trailing edge but otherwise in good shape. I’ll get a couple of pictures and post them shortly. David

    Here’s a few photos of the process to move this old Mooney.

    Hangar is in Gary Indiana. Airplane is now in Waukegan IL.

    Today I received the paperwork that officially gives me ownership! Time to bring it back to life.

    Hi Jst, I just picked up a 56 M20 model. I’m researching maintenance on this wood wing and may be able to provide you a bit of help in the near future. Thanks, David

    I have this one from my old C model. Free if you’ll cover shipping. David

    Yes it does. As soon as I get more photo storage, I’ll post some more pictures (donation sent to Craig) This is incredible to see such an early Mooney M20 after all the newer ones I’ve worked on. The history of the build is neat to see first hand. David

    Hi Kerry, I do have the prop and it almost looks new. I removed it for transport as it stuck out past the trailer too far to haul it safely. I’m going to reinstall it and do an engine run in the next month or so after determining the wing condition. All signs so far are of a clean solid wing. Thanks, David

    Good morning, Looks to be called M20 service manual. The one I purchased was $15. There’s one more on there but the seller is asking $128. I also found them available on Essco’s website for $41. I’m going to wait until I receive this manual to see if it includes parts in it. A lot of the early manuals I’ve seen and used didn’t have a separate IPC. David
  18. Sabremech
    Well, if it wasn’t available on an old website and given their current state of affairs, I doubt it’s available now. Found a copy on E-bay thanks to Don H.
  19. Sabremech
    Yes, online shows N/A for M20 models. Thanks
  20. Sabremech
    Looking for a copy of the maintenance and service manual for a 1955-57 Mooney M20 if anyone has a copy along with an IPC if available? Thanks, David
  21. Sabremech
    Next thing I need to acquire is a Maint manual and IPC for a 56 M20. David

    I’m going to say about 6 hours. First time I’ve done this job and didn’t have all the tools I should have. Thank goodness for tape to make a longer punch out of a punch and extension. I also didn’t have any help during the disassembly. Engine hoist and saw horses were most useful to get it in to three pieces. Brought the wing and fuselage section home today on a 36 foot long trailer. Not especially fun going through Chicago to UGN. Airplane was in Gary Indiana. Wisconsin might have been less stressful than going down 94/294. Got some strange looks!
  23. Sabremech
    Yes, O-320.
  24. Sabremech
    Wasn’t planning on becoming a Mooney owner again, but today I finished the disassembly and pick up of a 1956 M20. Looks to be in pretty good shape so intentions are to bring it back to flying condition. Don H is going to post a couple of pictures as I don’t have any more space to post them.
  25. Sabremech
    Link didn’t work for me. Any details that can be shared directly here? Thanks
