REGULATORY TEXT:  
72-25-07 MCCAULEY: Amdt. 39-1573.

TABLE I - BLADE SERIAL NUMBERS
All Model 90AT-8 propeller blades with serial numbers not ending with suffix letter "S" (Example: C238479Y is affected while C238479YS would not be affected).

TABLE II - HUBS MODELS AND SERIAL NUMBERS
Serial Numbers 64000 thru 699999 for the following hubs:
E2A34C64 E2A34C73-A
E2A34C64-A E2A34C73-J
E2A34C73 E2A34C73-K

Compliance required as indicated, unless already accomplished.

To prevent possible blade and hub failures, accomplish the following:

a) Propellers with 775 or more total hours in service, must be reworked or replaced in accordance with paragraphs (d), and (e) or (f) as applicable within the next 25 hours in service after the effective date of this AD.

b) Propellers with less than 775 total hours in service must be reworked or replaced in accordance with paragraphs (d), and (e) or (f) as applicable prior to the accumulation of 800 total hours in service.

c) Propellers whose total hours in service are unknown will be assumed to have a total of 775 hours minimum and thus fall within the requirements for rework or replacement in accordance with paragraph (a).

d) Rework affected propeller blades in accordance with McCauley Service Bulletin 100 dated October 30, 1972, or replace with Model 90AT-8 blades to which this AD does not apply.

e) Rework affected Model E2A34C73(-) hubs in accordance with McCauley Service Bulletin 100 dated October 30, 1972, or replace with Model E2A34C73(-) hubs to which this AD does not apply.

(The spinner shell and bulkhead must be replaced when converting from the E2A34C64(-) to the E2A34C73(-) Model. A kit, Cessna P/N SK-210-45, is available for this purpose from the airplane manufacturer.)

(McCauley Bulletins No. 81 dated March 9, 1970, No. 87 dated November 6, 1970, No. 87-1 dated November 25, 1970, No. 87-2 dated April 21, 1971, No. 88 dated November 6, 1970, McCauley Service Manual 720415 and Cessna Service Letter No. 65-68 dated July 13, 1965, also pertains to this subject.)
