Have a 63 m20c that I’m scrapping/play forting

[saltydecimator]

In NE Colorado. I’m on mainly pew pew forums so you can kinda check up on me…

 

mainly I’m asking if I need to not hurt some parts that folks may want ?

 

inwas gonna cut the tail off for wall art, wings are cut off,  so not lot of value. Flaps cut, ones bent. 
 

so, not much there, but maybe something someone needs??

Has a SWTA 201 windshield and covers, that is nice…

There are two common locations to remove the tail, so no cutting required.  The entire tail comes off with only a few bolts .  You will see some covers just below the front edge of the tail.  That would also give you nice mounting points and may save the tail in case you find a buyer later for another airplane.

Hi! 
I’ll take both main trailing links from above the pivots. Basically I’m after the MLG axels but it’s all one assembly. 

nose gear doors bent? 
 

nose truss assembly? 
 

reason for cutting it up?

That 201 windshield would probably fetch a pretty penny!

[M20F-1968]

What kind of fuel selector does it have? Is it an H&E.  I am interested in it and the flap pump.

[M20F-1968]

And flap actuator.

So sad , has a brand new pitot cover in the seat back…
 

i’m gonna say the rather the left elevator and the halons may or may not be worth something a little dinged up but if you got a super bad one, it might be better than what you have

 

 

speech to text sorry I reread this on my laptop and correct errors

It’s not intact though? Small crack in center, lower part 

[KSMooniac]

The wheels could be worth selling if they're not corroded.

[Shadrach]

I will take the flap pump and actuator off you hands for a reasonable price. They’re not making any more of those.

If the parking brake valve is marked “4200”, I’m interested. It’s on the cabin side of the firewall above the pilot’s brake pedals.

[Joshua Blackh4t]

Do you still have the wings? And did it happen to have a heated pitot?

They are worth a bit. I'd be interested in one.

Yup. $30-50 a pop through a salvage yard.

[saltydecimator]

Well it’s got engine info guage, 

 

end I’m working on pullin  the parking brake reservoir and valve, in mirror I’m readin “Mobil 4200” but maybe I’m just “optimistic “

 

ps I’m not trying to subvert rules here, was trying to “start somewhere”

Ooof! Ya that’s steep! 
 

if anyone wants a desk etc I prob plan to section the wings once I get most of the parts off it

are we gonna do like a community vote on price type of thing?  I’m not trying to hose anybody, but I don’t want anybody buying them cheap and hosing anybody else ,know what I’m saying?

I found right elevator and h stab   It’s been sawzalled off so only useful as wall art or maybe internal , OB rip parts or fwd spars…

[Andy95W]

@saltydecimator- if possible, please take a picture of the parking brake valve and reservoir.  If it’s the one I’m looking for, I’ll take it and one oval inspection panel (8 hole).  Thanks!

Looking at the photo, possibly only the bracket/mount part is broken and the actual element might be ok.

If its not obviously broken electrically, it may be repairable. Would be prepared to offer something for all the pitot parts and have a go at fixing it.

Yeah, I can get some close-ups this afternoon. Do you mean you want the full length of tubing, etc. and the full length of wiring or just attached to it right there at the wing interface?

 

Bad news on the parking brake it’s 4500 A1. 

[saltydecimator]

Looks like the left two windows ok

FYI- the 4500 A1 valves sell for a couple hundred $ on eBay normally.
