30 Inline chopper

[LakeAnna]

I need to get a fat shaft welded into one. Who can do this for me??? Thanks

Todd might be able to do it. Check with him.

I remember Todd commenting earlier about doing this. I forget which one is best to convert. There are front load and rear load choppers. One way it is not worth the effort.

The newer, front load ones are best to convert.

 

[LakeAnna]

Front load meaning the hub is inserted from the face side so I should be good then. Here's a pic of an unmolested one that had been at my dad's shop since I had my xr back in 1990. Now, where do I send this little tool for the hub work.

That is a rear load prop. Much harder to convert.

 

[LakeAnna]

I'm really confused now then... Heck!

 

[h2oskiier30]

Take a pic of the other end of the prop, and post it up. If the other side has a "solid" face, then it's the one that's much harder to convert.

 

[LakeAnna]

One minute... and it is I think...

This prop would be harder to convert to fat shaft.....

Thanks for your help! That sucks cause this was a fast prop on my old xr

 

[h2oskiier30]

That's the hard one to convert.

 

[h2oskiier30]

Need to find one like this....

The three "tabs" on the back end of the barrel are the tip-off for the kind you're looking for.

 

[LakeAnna]

That's the way it goes sometimes. Thanks

Anybody need a inline 30?:sad

Gotcha, I have a 28 like that but I already have 2 now. 28's I mean.

 

[h2oskiier30]

You need part number 48-98246. That'll still give you the 4.5" width blade on the 30 pitch, and also the hub you need.

I'm going to check down at the shop next week, so much crap upstairs in the loft area it's hard to tell what's up there. This wheel just happened to be kinda in the front.

Some good stuff and lots of junk.
