Part Number 398370-3 and -4 Elevator Counter Balance Weights are made from depleted Uranium. However, Part Number 398370-5 and -6 Elevator Counter Balance Weights are made from Tungsten and were incorporated into production on aircraft 5536 and consistently installed from aircraft 5539 and subsequent. The -5 and -6 Counter Balance Weights are a direct replacement for the -3 and -4.

Check Lockheed Service News Vol 12 No 4, there is a good article and TS information to resolve NLG Shimmy

In response to your query, the following information is provided.

1. The tension regulator assembly should be checked for correct part number and proper adjustment. The part number for the tension regulator assembly is R73-2004-42-3A, 695606-7.

2. The cable tension should be checked for equal tension on both the input and return cables throughout the cable system.

3. The cable rigging should also be RECHECKED from the quadrant to the gimble.

We experienced a similar situation of throttle creeping in the past. This problem occurred on older aircraft, which resulted in the rebuilding of the throttle quadrant assembly.

See c-130J-1, Fig 3-2, Page 3-241; it identifies Aft #1, Center #2, RH Emer Exit #3 and Fwd #1. I tried to attach the Pic but couldn't figure it out.

To add to Topgun's storey about Fred K. What he said and much more is all true. The guy has been there and done that. LM presented him a 25,000-Hour Certificate and Plaque back in November 1992, and before retiring, he probably logged another 6 to 18 thousand hours; no telling how many he really flew without logging. On the ending note, Fred is a great guy and one of the best Herc pilots ever.

Casey,

The Illustrations are great, however you left off the Lockheed Logo on the tail.

Here is a link in HerkyBirds;

This link even has all the old historical SNs.

Send me your shipping address and I will get you a few large pics that you could choose one to frame-out for signatures. [email protected]

Your Gas Cap PNs should be:

LM PN 697649-1 = Vendor PN 457-838 for Inbd

LM PN 697650-1 = Vendor PN 457-837 for Outbd

Can the aircraft be controlled straight & level by throttle settings?

This might help. If it don\'t open, send me your address and I\'ll email to you. [file name=Windshield_Part_Numbers__NEW_.doc size=86528]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/files/Windshield_Part_Numbers__NEW_.doc[/file]
