They say Hartzells have a hard enough time holding grease much less oil that’s Dyed red.. Yep the seals were designed for grease not thick oil it went like this with the prop shop. $3000 use the current hub $6000 new improved hub. $9000 New prop and hub.

Of course, the shop has an investment in the ECI instrument and each inspection is pure gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They picked up my prop and then brought it back to me looking like it came from the Hartzell factory. For 4200$ in 2012 you could have nearly upgraded it the the improved -B hub and eliminated the AD also.

Not with Jordan. I checked and the difference was significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some where around that time frame Hartzell offered new hubs for half price, I bought 2 for 1,500 Canadian each. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence I took the Hartzell deal sometime around 2008. I had them do the work at the Hartzell facility in Piqua, Ohio. The hub was half price and the total was about $4500 for the overhaul (including the hub). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very meticulous in his inspection procedure and I watched like watching water boil. If you want it done right sounds like Dan is the man. As far as a screw job well it is aviation and they do have to pay for the equipment and training that nobody else has. @Yetti can you send me the guy in Conroe I can try him next time (nothing against Dan it is Conroe is my neighboring airport and $200 is less than $300 (last I checked my math). Just got my bill. It was $250 at Jordan!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
