    Brake drum removal, m37

    Kroil is really good stuff but if you really want it easy go to your local Grainger and pick up a bottle of "mouse milk". I have always been lucky going a impact driver and the right bit!!! Just remember when going back together, dont be cheap with the anti-sieze:jumpin:

    Piper L4 Grasshopper

    That is all in well but if he is determined, he might as well save his $$$ and get his own airplane and then that way, he can get some of his money back if his situation changes. Besides, he may not live near a CAF wing. I know this as there are none in all of NewEngland. But thats...

    A M37 that could go BOOM!!!!!

    Now that the M37 is almost done, I can pull out the M54A2C and start getting it prepped for paint and her "Yellow Nose" Might squeeze a few gallons on the M62 before the M54 comes out of hiding.:jumpin:

    Piper L4 Grasshopper

    You need to pickup a copy of "Box Seat Over ****" Its a great read!!! If you want a L-4, do yourself a favor and start looking for the CORRECT Air box. They are not that common and are standard for the L-4.:?: Dont waste your time with the RCA radios and start looking for the MB jeep...

    Piper L4 Grasshopper

    Yep, 100LL is preferred. Dont know what were going to do if they get rid of 100LL. There is talk within the N3N owners about autogas and there is one STC for it but that is for the original Wright engine. Only a handful like ourselves have them still over the bigger engines that are...

    My "new" M54A2

    Congrats on the M54, whats your plan with it.

    Piper L4 Grasshopper

    Yes its ok to mix the fuel, we used to have a stuck valve issue on our cubs in the winter months until we started to add 100LL to the MOGAS truck, so that helped. STC, not a problem. No problem with the questions. When your ready to buy, let me know. I got a friend that currently has 4...

    Piper L4 Grasshopper

    12 Gal tank up front is stock for the L-4. There is a STC to install a 8 gal wing tank and that is not stock for the L-4 or a J-3. The Continental 65 engine was rated for 80 Aviation octane gas but they no longer produce it. At the airport its 100LL and that is fine but you can also get...

    m4 sherman radial engine question

    This also goes with the Early Stuart tanks with the W670............do also note that if you use the starter with Mags off, the starter will not turn a "locked" engine either. Hense why you count blades on aircraft on start before turning mags on. I will go back to my desk that has some...
