170B & 195B

Post by Watkinsnv »

Well I'm off to look at a 170B Lyc O-360 and a 195B both at the same airport. The 170B is a project for resale. It just needs a C/S prop, oil gears, carb float all on AD's and a good radio. I have a new prop but I want the 80" prop spinner and balancer from Top Props for mine. The 195 has a run out engine old radio panel. I have been after him since Thanksgiving having only seen pictures. I found another 195B with a new panel and radios and engine, that needs to be assembled. I have an offer on it, now I have to shake the tree a little and see which one falls out. Lance

If you get the 195 are you going to get rid of your 170?

Turns out the 195 needs a lot of work and the owner thinks its gold. Fools gold maybe. On the other hand the 54 170B has a lot going for it where talking with the owner to see if we can reach a deal. Sat I'm flying out to look at a 195 that I have a offer in and want to talk further with the owner to see if we can meet in the middle somewhere. Lance

Yeah.....that 195 is all messed up. It'll take a lot of work to get it back pretty and original. Look at that cut-up, goofy, "modern" panel and the yucky non-red color! :lol:
