109 rear prop part number?
By: marlin.45 Date: June 26, 2015, 8:13 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Old Trigger went in for his MOT today and passed without any
advisories which makes a change for a 50 year of LR?
One issue they did mention in passing was play in the rear prop.
Looking at it myself it seems that the prop splines have worn
sufficiently to induce a bit too much play. The only option as I
can see it is to fit a new prop but what one do I need? Rear
axle is a Rover not a Salisbury as the is a 1966 IIA ex-mil FFR.
Anyone know? :rolleye0012:
Cheers,
Paul

As it happens I have the correct military parts book to go with
my '66 ambulance.
Deep breath:
SHAFT, PROPELLER (109 in. wb veh) Cts, A, D, F, G, H, N, P, R to
X, AB to AG, AJ, AL. HP/63-554
Rover Part No. 553003
It supercedes to STC573:

At present Paddocks are supplying Britpart who for once seem to
be buying in from someone decent, in this case Hardy Spicer. Not
the usual steaming excrement in a blue box.

The rear prop is too big for a blue box; it's a black bag with a
blue label... Or if you're really unlucky it arrives covered in
about 50 miles of parcel tape. Fortunately I was prepared to
overlook that on account of the GKN logo stamped on the shaft
itself.

Cheers guys :thumbs:
Paddocks link noted and as soon as I drop the front prop to
check whether anything needs to be done with that one
:rolleye0012: I will get that ordered!

I have also now dropped off the front prop. All seems pretty
good bar two UJ bearing caps are spinning in the yoke. Trust it
to be the yoke on the prop itself so replacement would prob
entail replacing the whole prop.
Is it worth either putting some thin shim stock around the
bearing cap to tighten it up or should I change the whole thing.
Going to get expensive at this rate? Dmmy spit

In real terms props are so cheap for the 4 cylinder series
motors I'd just buy a new one TBH. If it were a 6 then I'd think
twice. £47.50 vs £245.00. :eek:

New rear prop ordered but I managed to pop both bearing caps out
of the front ones last night and with a small piece of shimstock
inserted in each (0.05mm) and some red threadlock left over
night they are now solid. As the front rarely gets used that
will do for now until I find another :rolleye0012:

As you've save £47.50 I'd highly recommend investing that in
this:

It covers all of the military models up to mid-2a (includes '66)
and their unique bits. The other handy thing is bolts for
example just say "BOLT" in the civvy manual. The military one
will say BOLT, 1/4" UNF x 3" so gives a bit more of a clue about
things. :smilewide:
