I figured someone here would know. I sold a couple of props this year already. One that I had no info for...went to a guy with an experimental.
The other.. had an 8130, and logbook. (seems guy lost the logbook in shipping, but I had emailed him scans of all)
Anyway.. those were props from my old Cessna 140.
I just put a whirlwind on my experimental cub. I bought the plane late last year. It had a sort of 'build book' with it. A few manuals were in there. It has an airframe log and engine log with the appropriate entries and such. It never had, or if it did... I didn't get the prop log. I doubt it had one. I'm sure there was a box somewhere with all the receipts.. but the builder passed and it wasn't saved.
It's a sensenich 74DM-054 . Serial number K13408 . Is there any way to tell manufacture date from that info?
I SUSPECT the prop was new, and it had just a couple tenths over 100 hours on it in (when I removed it this week) the 9 years since the plane was first flown. The paint is barely missing off the leading edge. I suppose it's possible it was overhauled, and painted. If the serial number doesn't yield info..... What then?
I won't have a prop log book... unless I have the mechanic just make one saying.. I pulled X prop off X plane on X day with 100 hours on it. That's not gonna be an 8130.
I suppose that someone buying it COULD do a full overhaul and then they'd get a zero time prop???
I'm stabbing in the dark here. Anyone have relevant experience?
