Extension for pull starter arm

Post by Patrick Phillips »

Does anyone know if Cessna made a short extension to bolt on the end of the pull starter arm for more leverage......I seem to remenber seeing one some where

Look at the 170-B IPC, pages 86/87, Fig 50, item 16, PN 0450283, extension, Starter Arm.

(When all else fails.... look at the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) for your aircraft.) :wink:

Thanks for the tip on the part George....I looked in my parts manual but it doen't show the arm....but then again mine is a 170A and I guess they don't use it......probably was added in later years to help with complains with hard to pull starters

You didn't say in your original post which model aircraft you had so I took the most likely guess (lots more B's than A's or Straights).

Look on pages 70/71 of the A-model IPC, Fig 38, item 18. (Tough to recognize unless you read the description on page 71.)

For you Straight 170 guys, it's Fig 34, item 16 (pages 62/63).

Same PN 0450283 for all models. Cessna List Price: $ 338.00 How many do you want?

(Make your own out of steel tubing, pounded flat, cut, file, and drill.)
