  1. Blueprints like you are looking for don't really exist. The drawings that comprise the building of the C130 are fundamentally in complete disarray, as far as I am concerned. There are no overall dimensional drawings except for what is in the front of most of our books.

    Any drawings that show outside structure may have a contour drawing cited. These contour drawings are the work of the devil. Maybe they did it this way to keep the Russians from building their own C130s.

  2. I used to give to the PVA all the time, but no more.

    Speaking of charities, there were guys out in front of walmart here a few weeks ago in unmatched fatigues with nothing on them, collecting money for veterans. They didn't look like veterans to me. They had photo IDs that said VETERAN on them. The manager said they were legit, but I should have called them out, I think it was a scam.

  3. Thanks, but then where does the 3213722-2-1 or 3213722-5-1 engine regulator applicability fall?

    The H-2-13 wiring diagrams show the 697638-3 part number in the 74 and ups. This part number converts to the 3213722-2-1, which is replaced by the -5-1.

    The H-2-21GS-1 explains the difference between the E-models and 74-1658 & Up.

  4. Great information and thanks for the help!

    If there is anything specific in the MX books (Especially the 1C-130A-6 and work cards) that you feel needs to be fixed/tweaked, let me know.

    I wish I could get someone to listen to me about the 60 day IFF check. I have been told that it needs to be checked per FAA requirements, due to Mode C altitude and TCAS operation. I have looked in the FAA regs and haven't seen such a requirement.

    My argument is that the Mode C is checked on every flight, because it is always on, and incorrect altitude info will be reported to the crew. When that happens, we use the TTU205 to run up the altitude and check the alticoder info. Mode C problems don't occur very often at all.

    That 60 day check is totally unnecessary and it borders the idiotic fence line. I brought this up at the -6 conference last year, but it fell on deaf ears.

    Now, since they wrote the test procedure for the new TS4530 Transponder, the TTU205 must be hooked up when performing an IFF check. We can get around that by doing an IFF self test, but that never should have been put in the book that way. They rarely talk to any knowledgeable maintenance people before making changes like that.

  5. It was part of the old stall warning system. I've seen several that we pulled off. The wire numbers that go to it should be labeled MONA XXX-XX. many aircraft still have stall warning horns installed, right below the bottom of the pilot's instrument panel.

    There was never a TCTO issued that completely removed everything. Kind of like the Life history recorder TCTO that left the flight surface position indicators in.

    Not indicators, transmitters. Geeze...

  6. Does anyone happen to have any information, dealing with the history of A 64-14852? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

    If you are at Moody, come over to my office in the ISO hanger and I'll give you what is in Lars' book.

  7. Sure, just start here, and work through about 5 or so thousand drawings, and you'll get your total number.

    That sounds like something they could have me do until I retire on 1/1/2011. Of course, I'd need an extra government grant to get the job done, say $1.5 mil.

  8. Not to hijack or anything but does anyone have some info on the old ODS (overhead delivery system)? I know our herks used to have it but it was removed way before I ever showed up. I guess the shadows had it, maybe the talons or HCs had it too?

    I sent you a private message for an e-mail address.

  9. What is the part # for those small access panels at the end outboard of the belly band?

    Part number is 344444-4R & -4L, which is what that drawing number is that I posted.

    We lived in Travis housing when I was in the eigth grade, circa '68. There was an elementry school right outside the housing area that I ran my go kart up to. I remember the processing plant, because if the wind blew just right, the smell was gawdawful.

  10. Something weird is going on..... Either the database screwed up and gave me credit for making the above post or I am a sick, sick man who can't remember making a post about a TCTO he knows nothing about. Someone please take credit for the post before I seek professional help!

    It's probably the smell from the onion plant, if it's still there.

  11. TCTO 1124 was for the access panel under the door sill.

    Drawing 346010 is for ramp drainage, and the ECO to 353612 added two drainholes at the bottom of the ramp bulkhead on either side of BL 0.

    Shown is the drawing of the access panel at the end of the belly band. There is no ECO for it, at least not in JEDMICS... yet.

  12. Tiny,

    If you check my bio, you'll see that we were at R/M at the same time. Did you ever get out to the American Legion in Waldorf? I practically lived there & at the Rod & Gun Club -- when I wasn't TDY somewhere.

    Bis Spater,

    Don R.

    Just updated my bio as well.

    Never went out to the Legion, but went to the R&G Club quite a few times. Couldn't beat the $2.95 for a dozen escargot and the cheap beer. There was a guy there that used to perform Cat Stevens' songs, he was pretty good, or maybe that was the beer.

  13. OK, here's why I think the fuse is blowing, or at least a feasable explaination. Of course, this may be all crap I just made up.

    When you quickly bump the switch, the voltage in the motor winding keeps builds up, then collapses, builds up, collapses. When voltage in a coil collapses, its polarity is reversed. So, get lucky and bump quickly enough, and you have +28VDC going into a coil with a negative voltage on it.

    Since the left side is used much more that the right side on a normal basis, and this has been done over many years, I think the left side 4 gauge wire has broken down somewhere and can't handle that current load caused by the switch bumping.

    1. Tell the Loadies to stop bumping the switch or you'll paint their leather jackets with shiny black radome paint.

    2. You could swap the 4 gauge wire at the fuses and C1 of the power relays. That will tell you if the wire is good. Even if both of them won't reach, you should be able to use one of those wires on the other system.

    3. Install a 100 amp limiter and the exact problem will undoubtedly surface. Keep an extinguisher handy.
