Hartzell Propeller Care & Maintenance

[@HAMlLTON]

I was afraid this was going to be dry, thank goodness this dude was super high energy!!!

[@Aviyaytor]

Thank you, Hattzell for putting this video out. Am still confused as to why Aeroshell 6 is recommended vs 5. If you mainly operate in hot Texas weather and will not be operating in weather greater than -40F, isn’t 5 better due to less oil separation?

[@RichardSmith-kb3uk]

I used number 5 on mine. Maybe I was wrong? I will be specifically asking this question to my prop shop as I'm getting 2 Hartzells overhauled now and they looked pretty good on tear down. Arizona is my location.

@@RichardSmith-kb3uk You will be using Hartzell NYCO GN 0358 grease from now most likely according to Hartzell HC SL 61-366. Most overhauled props will be using this stuff.

[@RichardSmith-kb3uk]

@@Aviyaytor I just got my props back and hung them yesterday. They work perfectly although I haven't had a chance to actually fly it because of a little more unrelated engine work. Johnson Propeller out of Bakersfield, CA told me to ONLY use Aeroshell #5. They did try using other new greases but stopped after only 1 month because of so many issues with customers props coming back to them. They put stickers on each overhauled prop that states, "Aeroshell #5 Only". I don't think there can be a stronger statement than that. This is a 1962 Cessna 310 with 2 Blade 80" Hartzell's. There may be exceptions to this, I wouldn't know. I'd use what's recommended by someone you trust. I trust these guys and a lot of mechanics I know have liked their work for decades. So there you go. For whatever it's worth.

great video that gives good guidance on servicing and maintenance.

What a beautiful event!

[@warwickcalleia]

You didnt consider prop tracking?

[@henryfaulkner6051]

Cord wise vs span wise stress risers, corrosion, Foreign object Damage..?

[@isaacnjomo2242]

Thank you for the video,my question is what type of file do you use with respect to types of teeth?second what is the preferred method of filing e.g crossfiling or drawfiling.Its important to also highlight how critical it is to clean the file using a filecard before filing otherwise small filings from previous work probably from a different metal may be lodged onto the prop causing galvanic corrosion.Regards again

[@FINSuojeluskunta]

AC-43-13B says fine-cut file. I was taught to do it in a chord-wise motion, he does it in a crossfiling motion. Can't tell you what's prescribed by the FAA since the book doesn't say, but that's how a DME showed me

[@maheralazzawi7814]

good job

[@BettySwollocks13]

Clean it with MEK, really? Sanding without masking the intakes, nice :/

[@sanjaypathak3352]

Give some reason for oil leak

Your overhaul mechanic fucked up

Good video...... all 19 pixels

@eixid someone is butthurt.

[@HydroKyl240COG]

I'll agree with that last comment. Please redo in a higher quality. No knocking the contents at all, just the image quality. Great information, but this is a little distraction is all.

[@yesode4201]

HydroKyle240 I’m sure these videos cost something, how much are you the millennial giving?

[@ljcollins2714]

why do most videos for aircraft maintenance have such poor video quality 240p?????? you put this up in 2015 not 1990??????? your phone could have done better. poor video quality makes details harder to see.

[@marvinpurcell2775]

I doubt this video is from 2015, it was definitely filmed in 2008 or sum shit

[@b100ka]

🤣

[@dieseltech1981]

Low budget acting.
