  • Sensenich propeller and hub from Alaska ID?

    I have a Sensenich propeller with hub that I am trying to trace the origin of. I was told by the person that I received it from that it had belonged to Joe Crosson, a famous bush pilot here in Alaska. It has a Drawing number of 44K18151 so it was a military prop built in 1944 but the rest of the drawing number doesn't match any in the military to civilian crossover list. It's serial number is F5020. It is 85-1/2" long with steel facing and ends. The ends are painted a light OD green. The hub is a Warner Aircraft Corp. Assembly no. 8808 and consists of a splined hub and plate with six bolts. The splined shaft it would have gone on would have been about 2.25" od with 15 splines, one of them double width. I have pictures, but can't seem to resize them small enough to post, but will email them on request. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    The 44K18151 is actually a Hartzell drawing number built under type certificate number 822 and corresponds to their model number 8613E-54.

    According to Lamar's website, that was used on a Fairchild UC-61K with a Ranger 6 440 C5 200 hp engine.

    It's likely that Sensenich either built the propeller under contract with Hartzell or overhauled it some time after it had been in service.
