So George, you have a 300C? I've looked in the parts manual and it does seem that you can use the D crank with the A case. So are what you saying is that if I replace the crank in my c-145-2 with a D model crank (which is dampened) and of course the prop, I'd have a 0300C and I could then use a 35 amp generator and a fancy Aeromatic Prop? What model prop do you have George, and what makes it legal on our planes?... So I asked them how much they'd charge to overhaul my O-300C engine to new limits.....and they wouldn't quote it stating they didn't know what a C engine was. (The ONLY difference between a C and an A is that the C uses the same crankshaft as the D which has only 6 prop bolts.)
This is all very interesting cause I need to upgrade my generator, I would love to find an Aeromatic prop, I have a friend with two Aeromatic prop hubs (6 bolt) and an extra crank and my engine is currently disassembled in his garage. My brain is churning
