Hartzell 92” Wooden Prop

[Kmiller]

Hello, I’m looking for a little history, age and background of this Hartzell prop.
design 836~78(92) serial 17682

I've looked through my lists and haven't found that drawing (design) number yet. I have one more place to look when I get home.

Can you take a close-up photo of the decal?

So there are only two Hartzell propellers on my listing that are 92" in diameter, model 671 B and 752 F, both of which are listed on this page. I've attached those lists and the hubs are similar but 752 F has a hub thickness of 4 1/4 inch and 671 B is only 4", so you should measure yours accurately to see if that helps.

I do think that 671 B (Fleet 10 biplane) is the more likely choice based purely on odds. The other choice is the Cessna seaplane, but that seems less likely.

If your measurement of 92" from tip to tip is not accurate there are some other possibilities.

It is definitely 92” and the hub is 4 1/4” thick

The info that Hartzell has on this prop says "Kinner R-5 Series 2 160HP - 140 MPH - Timm" They suspect that if came from a N2T Tutor which is powered by a Kinner R-5 engine.
I am interested in selling this prop. It is in great condition. Please inquire if you or anyone you know is interested.

My collecting is focused on the WW1 and earlier props, so I'm not personally interested but you might just post in the "Selling" category and link to this thread so you don't need to duplicate things.

Do you have a price? I do have one contact that might be interested.

Hi. I posted a few years back about a prop I had from a friend. I am circling back to list it for sale, finally getting around to cleaning out a storage room I have. Here is the info that Hartzell gave me. It’s 92” and 4 1/4” hub.
We were told it could command $1,500 but I am aware that something is only worth what someone will pay. With that being said, I am open to offers…

info I received…
