I had to do this a few years ago. If I remember correctly, I only had to remove the piano hinge from one side to release the hinge pin. I think it was the gear door side, but it should be apparent...

I don't think you have a real issue. It sounds like your electrical system is working. You just have a metering problem, and you are getting false indications. As far as I know, the parallel board...

Although I could have eliminated the parallel board (I installed a volt/ammeter) I left it in. I still like having the "idiot lights" in my scan.

More than likely is that you've got a blown diode on the little signal processing board on the top center of your firewall. Or possibly a bad relay on the same board. The diodes are very easy to...

Thanks Herb. I didn't know that. Hopefully, Ed can find someone who is parting out a later model with the same tanks. Or get somebody to repair his tank.

Hi Ed.

If they were able to get the inboard tank in and out without removing the outer tanks, they are a lot smarter than I am. (Not a very high bar, I'm afraid.) I couldn't figure out a way to...

Hi Ed.

There is a guy on ebay who is parting out a 337D. I think the tanks are the same. Here is a link to one of his auctions for a different part, but you can find his contact information...

An interesting comment by the seller...the engine has been stored since 1991. I would be very leery of internal corrosion some place, even though he says "it was oiled up". The pictures of it sure...

The "V" style whisker antennas at the top of the vertical stabilizer on my Skymaster (and I suspect all others) are mounted differently than those shown in your photos. Each antenna (whisker) is...

I have a 73 P337. Don't know how much different it is, but I would guess pretty similar except for the venturi coming off the intake system to feed the pressurization system. I am doing the annual...

Sorry it took me so long to check, but I do in fact have a TSIO 360C6 engine on my 73 P337. It happens to be a Rolls Royce made under license from TCM.

I'm pretty sure I did just exactly that about 10 years ago, when we discovered an unrepairable crack in the crankcase of my rear engine. My airplane is also a 1973 T337G pressurized, aka P337. It...

There is a TSIO 360C. It is the same as the TSIO 360A, except rated at 225 HP instead of 210 HP, and has provisions for presurization.

TSIO 360 CB is an upgraded TSIO 360C with a modified crank...

Flashing alternator lights is not an uncommon trait in Skymasters. It is usually caused by a high resistance point in your field wiring. The regulator senses field voltage to change alternator...

Yoke Bearings

The three small bearings that support each yoke at the panel in my 337 have lost their rubber coating. At least I think they are supposed to have a rubber coating.

In my aircraft, these bearings...

I would guess that the OV relay is causing the alternators to go off line. On my aircraft, it is located on the right side of the center pedestal, up high near the firewall.
