T8, When you figure out what prop to use with all that HP, keep in mind that the taper is really what holds the prop on and tranmits all the torque. It is recommended to even lap with lapping compound the prop to the shaft. |

Doc, It is my own design and made it to get as even a 360 degree pull on the prop hub as possible. I was frustrated with the C clamp type with way too much spring or "give" in them. I had used a 3 arm gear puller at one time so that sort of started me in that direction. I really should have made several at the time but didn't think that others would need them. If I gear up for them again, you are the first person on my list.

speaking of tapers, on larger Twin Disc and ZF transmissions on the main bull gears they do not use a key at all, they completly rely on the taper, you put the gear in the press and advance the shaft, you use a dial indicater to determine the amount of advance, these transmissions have 1500 hp pumped to them and you would think you need a key. to remove the gear there is a rifle drilled hole with threads at the top which leads to the bull gear and to remove you fill the hole with 90w gear oil and take the correct size bolt and wrap it with teflon tape and tighten it quickly with a impact and it hydraulically pops the gear, its pretyy amazing to do this or watch it

Wrong! It doesn't apply full equal pressure to the backside of the hub. Plus, no provisions to pull a 4 blade on the #1 size. The #1 is the proper size for the people here on this site and many do run 4 blade props! Don, you must be smoking something! 
DonC, Do you work for, own or have stock in Walter gear??? Edit: It does seem that you are connected with Walter. Have you read the sites policies regarding commercial sales? You must have missed it!! |
