  • Propeller ID

    My wife inherited a wooden propeller and I am trying to find out a little more about it. The only markings I could find are the code J5637 on the hub.
    I couldn't find that on http://www.woodenpropeller.com/MWP.html.

    It is 6 ft long.

    It is not in great shape but it is an interesting piece. Pictures are attached. Thanks for any help.

    Also written in pencil near the tip was the number NoY211951. I thought it might have been a tail number because it started with N, but that is not a good sequence.

    I'd have to do a little digging to find out which 6 foot props had the counterbores in the hub, but it looks like a commonly used prop that would fit o a variety of engines. Just as an example go to the props on this page that have model numbers with a "72" prefix and you'll see a wide range of aircraft make and models. At this point it could be for any one of those.

      Thanks. Was there supposed to be a link in your reply, or did you mean to the main page at
      http://www.woodenpropeller.com/MWP.html?

      Here is an additional picture of the other side of the hub, with the grooves cut into it. they don't look consistent, with some being deeper than others.

        I don’t think those grooves will assist in identifying the propeller; they are in all likelihood part of an unfinished attempt to open up the centre hole to accommodate a clock or barometer.

          My mistake. I meant to hyperlink to the Sensenich page on the site.
