I am pretty sure my 1966 172G has an alternator but I will have to check the log books (there are several) to see how it got it.

I'm in the process of submitting a 337 this week for a 1967 172 with the C145 engine. email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Hello -

We have a reims built F172D serial no 0031 with a generator and Continental 0-300D engine. We have had lots of problems with it and the power output is marginal.

We want to fit an alternator Ford DOFF1030FR which we have, exactly as the F172K model.

Does anyone have an approved modification or STC to do this?

Many thanks

Bob, I fly a 64 model C 172.[O 300 D engine] A few years back, I bought a used engine from a damaged aircraft [Mattituck major. Had 400 hours on it] It came with an alternator. Didn't get any info about how to wire the alternator into the existing electrical system, no voltage regulator, or anything else.So, I rebuilt my old generator and used it when changing engines.

If  you could tell me where to get the info about installing the alternator [Wiring, Circuit Breaker, Voltage regulator, etc] I'd sure appreciate it. THANKS in advance, Sid Norris

We have a 1960 Cessna 172A that has the Cessna/Ford alternator on it P/N C611501-201. The plane was abandoned on an airfield for about 20 years before being sold by the airport for back tie down fees. Needless to say there are on logs and the disc from the FAA with all the 337's that have been done doesn't have any infor on the installation. Does anyone know of a STC or have a copy of a 337 that they could e-mail me so that I could see how to get it approved since we have to reconstruted the logs.
Thanks
Doug

Hello,
I bought a 1956 C-182 and took the seller for his word that all the logs were present.
I am missing the Airframe and engine logs from 1956 through 1969.
I know I made a big mistake by not having him fax me the logs before I bought the plane. Be that as it may, I trusted him and now am payiny the price.
I need someoneslogs of a 1956 C-182A to look at, to see how and what I have to go through to reconstruct the missing logs.
I am missing 2021 hrs.My logs start when the 0470L engine had just been overhauled so I am not missing any engine work that I know of.I am not looking for any A&P/IA's numbers or names, just what work was done during the first 13 yrs. of life. I am going to start with the 337's on Disc from the FAA.
Can anyone help me out with this huge undertaking by sending me some old logs of a 1956 182 to look at???
Sincerely,
James.

Seems you have already started .

AD Status records & 337 File are significant here.

Finding records of oil & tire changes appear remote & unnecessary.

The disc should give some info as to where your aircraft was based in it's early life.

Perhaps someone may recognize the N number.

Another thought is to put the N number on this forum & see what comes up.

As is; you will NEVER have "Complete Logs" but that is not really

terrible.

Records ( logs) should be kept until the operation is superceded.

Most log items have probably been redone several times since 1969.

You're not thinking of USING copies of a different aircft's logs?
