Im here with my machinist and he is a starving artist, I think everyone has seen the style Pete and myself came up with, if not maybe Pete can include a pic. its worth and is cost effective if he could make 10 pullers and qouted me in the 70.00 to 80.00 range for one.
you dont have to commit but if you have interest please feel free to post. even if 5 guy's are interested I'll hold the other 5 and do some car work for him as a trade and if someone needs one in the future I'll have them

70.00 to 80.00 each, he will CNC and has a shop rate that he has to qoute at
they are heavy duty and work well for the toughest prop to remove

Count me in! I've about worn out my C-style puller.

On a side note, my ORIGINAL tool box came by for a game of darts last night. I think that puller will be right at home in my new/old tool box next to the Boat Dr.'s wrenchs!

LOLOL!

I actually have 2 practice wives?!!?

What I meant is that my ACTUAL original tool box came over with the PO to throw darts.

Alan, leave it to the detail man to catch that!

Better late than never; sorry 'bout that.

Sounds like you'll be checking out 'long songs' today...all live and some good jams. The band has an open taping policy at their shows and only ask that they not be distributed for profit...so it's not a bootleg.

I hope you love it, but I won't be offended if you use it for target practice.

Eric,
     In the picture it looks well built and would last a life time. I'm very interested. Do you have a guess on the ETA ?

I'll ask today, they will be well built but may be a touch different, the holes will be slotted and may have 2 sets of bolt patterns, one for three blade, one for four blade, they will be also slotted. I have lunch with him everyday and discuss ideas with him, i may even come up with a cheaper version of the "slotted clamp type shaft coupling. now that i know that we need to at least make 5 of them, I'll get a committment from him.

would there be any interest in a clamp type coupling?

Eric,
Why don't you talk him into a prototype first and then post some pictures. I'm interested in youe "clamp" idea.

BTW, look close at mine as the holes for a 4 blade are in it but partially hidden.

Pete we looked over yours and really, did appreciate your work....if we built it like that he would need to get closer to the 200.00 mark because more steps are involved, we pretty much hashed it out and we will make the opening accept an 1.125 shaft, we will use 1018 steel and on the 3 bolt pattern we will go on a smaller bolt circle or use the same possible group and go 90 degrees or go a touch larger and the outside of the three bolt circle to accomadate our 4 bolt circle, we have to make it universal, he has to write a program a may is able to machine markings in them such as the alphabet or trademark,
I know an outside source is going to like the idea and re-produce.
The couplings wont be far behind these once i get these going, any ideas form you on the couplings would be appreciated, material? length? 2 bolts, 4 bolts and so on

Any photos of your prop puller yet? I'm thinking of upgrading mine and would like to see yours before I order anything else.

The traditional "C" clamp style pullers stretch and don't work after a couple pulls especially if you've followed the proper prop install procedure and the prop is seated well on it's taper. Once they stretch, they no longer apply pressure to the prop equally. This is like trying to pull the prop off sideways!

The next best puller I call the "Jorgenson" style because it's built like their famous wood working clamp.

These aren't too bad as long as you tighten the correct nut so the arms stay parallel keeping equal pressure on the prop hub. I have seen these bent too!!

Just like Eric mentioned, the "C" clamp prop puller is great only if you plan on pulling one prop!!!!!!!!

good thing the machinist is on my ass, I had to order a round, its going to be a couple weeks yet
the thing with any type of c-clamp style anything, they get overtightened and bend, mine are all bent,
simply, I had a c-style many years ago and threw it into Lake Erie where it belongs, they are not for professional use, i came back from that job 2 hours away and made the bolt style and never had the problem again.

Just for reference guy's here is my puller I bought from Glenwood years ago. It uses threaded rod instead of bolts. The piece to the right I made up for props that had less rake,other wise the puller comes in contact with the blades.It sells for 63.50 now


Bottom view,the rods are threaded into the cast bronze and also have stop nuts.
