Need TBOs Info for Eng, Turbo, Prop, Governor, etc.
Does any one know the Recommended Time Between Overhaul (TBO) info in HRs or Years (which ever comes first) for 337, T337, and P337 Engine, Turbo (T337 and P337), Prop, and Prop Governor?
Or, if there are any other TBO items/components in a 337, T337, or P337? Think it would be nice if a table of this TBO info was available (if it is not already) for potential Skymaster buyers. Thanks in advance. Bill Freestone. REASONS. I have done a search of the messages on this site, have searched the skymaster.uk site, and have searched the Internet using Google and MS bing web search engines; but, have not found the TBO info for Turbo, Prop, or Governor. I am evaluating various 337, T337, and P337 aircraft for sale, for potential purchase. Unfortunately, the aircraft for sale have not had each Engine, Turbo (for T337 and P337), Prop, and Prop Governor over hauled at the same time as the engine. Thus, I need to known what the Recommended Time Between Overhaul (TBO) is for Engine, Turbo, Props, and Prop Governors. Per a TCM Service Bullentin (from skymaster.uk web site): 337 Engine TBO is 1500 HRs or 12 Years; T337 and P337 Engine TBO is 1400 HRS or 12 Years; and, TBO for other Engine accessories or associated components are the same as the Engine unless the other accessory/component has a different specified TBO. Per Owen Bell's American Enterprise web site comparison of a 3 blade M.T. propeller to a 2 blade McCauley prop: it appears the McCauley prop TBO is 1500 HRs or 5 Years (instead of the engine TBO/Years). |

Here are the Continental and McCauley Specifications. My '68 has the Continental IO-360 C5B (1500 hrs / 12 years) and MT Propellers (72 months / 2000 hrs) for equipment.

Herb.
Thanks for the files/info. I also need to determine approximate costs for MOH or new for the following, so that I can appropriately evlauate the value of aircraft for sale: Turbocharger OH; Turbocharger new; Prop MOH; Prop new (I understand they are approx $15,000 each); Prop Governor MOH; Prop Governor new.
