'Hi Dan,
Yes, I have a Warner 145 on the nose. It would be difficult to
install the 165 on the 24-G because the mounting holes are different and the engine
mount is part of the airframe.
The paperwork on my F-24 for the Aeromatic 220 was the FAA MAJOR REPAIR
AND ALTERATION FORM in 1960. You ...

'Hi Dan,
Glad you were well insured and also not hurt.

I have a 1937 Fairchild 24-G. It has a aero-matic prop. It gets off quick
and has a great climb. It cruses at 110 to 115 mph at 1850 rpm. I like it.

I have a tail wheel lock operated from the cockpit. The thing I like most
about it ...

'David,
Dry weight for the Warner 165 and 165-A is 341 lbs.
" 165-B and 165-D is 348 lbs.

Don't know about props.

'Tom,
I restored mine in 1980. There were plywood leading edges on the wings
and I replaced with new plywood. Never heard of metal leading edges on
Fairchilds.

'Melvyn,
I just remembered that a friends widow gave me a small box of 90hp Warner
parts.
I told her I would sell them for her if someone needed them. I looked and
there was a nut for a taper shaft. It is listed in my 1998 parts price list for
$25.30.
(I used to sell parts)
Anyway, It's ...

'Melvyn,
According to the Warner engine parts list book.

Two places you might try for a part are,
Harman Dickerson, 573-449-6428

'Bruce,
If your cyl. base studs are factory mfg. studs, they are 3/8-24 + .005
thread.
(They probably did the +.005 so you couldn't use just any nut.)
They are also hardened to about r/c 30 if I remember right. (probably because
of the thin wall.)
(Torque Hint!) The book calls for 200 ...

'Dear Mike,
If you are unable to use the bushing when you get the plug out of it, call
John Duncan, 719-481-4115. He may have some. If not, let me know. I have an
extra one I have been saving that I could let go.
Sincerely,
George Olson'
