[QUOTE="sawmill, post: 283736, member: 9014"] Item 3007 shows your prop and the guts of it. It looks like it has a rubber hub in it. I would guess that is the part that is bad. You said it has a gear shift, put it in gear and try turning the hub if the gears are bad it should just slip as you turn the hub. Before you do this pull the plug wires to prevent it from having an unexpected start. It you can get it to turn you should feel the compression of the engine which means your gears or ok. You can also take the plugs out of the engine and with it in gear you should be able to turn the engine over and feel air comiing out of the plug holes meaning the gears are good. The guts of the hub has to be pressed in at a prop rebuild shop. GOOD Luck [/QUOTE]
