I'm still hoping for one of you who has used a Maytag or other washingmachine water pump on the Ford Model A engine to help me out with the modelnumber of the washer or part number. My local washer repairman must thinkI'm nuts as he doesn't return my calls.Maybe I am nuts, but such a pump may be useable on the far front of aCrosley race engine. The best pump would be small say 5 in diam or smaller,have a flat which could be drilled to mount on the right side near front ofengine, be fed from the front and discharge to the rear, and be driven by apulley on the front. Something like the picture in a mag at a stand.Should have bought the mag.

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Big WheelsThat is the same set-up, but the wheel breaking off was not a result of thedesigns, but rather exeeding the design limitations of the wheel (ie impactand ground loop forces) If you crash you are going to sustain damage.Hopefully it will be confined to the airframe, and not your body, such aswas the fortunate case at OSH.Steve EldredgeIT ServicesBrigham Young University> -----Original Message-----

Del, you're exactlly right. Some of the other differences are the length.Shorter props because the rpm is much greater. This is necessary to get thehorse power out of the engines.Copinfo(at)home.comTim CunninghamDes Moines, Iowa (515) 237-1510----- Original Message ----- > I assume that a pusher has a reversed air> foil design though.

Del,There are alot of different prop styles out there, but as far as a pusherprop to a "puller" prop, there is no difference. The place that explaned itbest when it came to ordering a prop, was Calofornis Power Systems.They said " stand with the wind in your face, pusher or puller, and seewhich way the prop is turning, simple as that".walt-----Original Message-----
