Parts ID Challenge!

Tue Oct 09, 2012 11:59 am

This should be a simple fun one for the knowledgeable aviaphile... In our hangar, we have a Wright GR1820G102A with its engine mount attached. I am trying to find out what bird this engine came from... It has a Lockheed Aircraft, Glendale ID tag on it, marked "Lockheed Assy. # 54029, SN 2013020"

Any ideas? I did not see a date, nor did I on the other tag, which looked to be an OH record tag...

Thanks!
Scott

B-17 F/G? LOCOWEED built a bunch of 'em and Glendale is a fair distance away from BUR as far as decentralizing sub assembly work in case Spielberg was proven to be correct and Wild Bill Kelso was busy elsewhere- :lol:

There is an "Engine Spec. Number" on the engine dataplate- I think it is "567", but do not have my note in front of me at the moment

B-18 used it as well.
TCDS will only cover civilian uses.

According to the Lockheed Interchageable Parts List, this is a 'Mount Assembly Dynamic Suspension Engine' and only fits the Lodestar L18-40.
