That is looking a lot better Jean.

 Make sure the prop flange is the same as one of
 these SAE standards. The big one is for wood props
 and the smaller one for CS props.

 I PAUL
 I FOLLOW YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO DESIGN WITH NEEDLE BEARINGS
 AND I CAME UP PRETTY GOOD BUT I NEED YOU TO LOOK AT IT AND
 COME BACK WITH YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.
 I AM SENDING YOU 3 2SHEETS WITH DIMENSIONS


 Jean Prudhomme

 If your drawing program can export IGES or AutoCad DXF files send me those
 instead so I can import them into Rhino. STP (STEP) files also work.

 It is best to send the individual part drawings with dimensions rather
 than dimensions on the complete assembly. Too confusing.

 I don't need the part drawings on the Ford planetary parts
 as I have those in Rhino dwgs already.

 Once you have it in Rhino you don't need to send dimension
 at all. All you need send is the Rhino 3DM file.

 Paul all the file are in IGES and i try to transfer to george Grimes
 and he can open it.

 I still working on the full design and i added a snap ring on the
 front to hold the front seal,i will have to use 2 check valves to
 prevent the high pressure to interfer with the low oil pressure.
 I should start to design the separate parts soon and i will forward to you

 Here is a preliminary Rhino rendering. It will take a lot more
 work. The prop flange spline may not be accurate. How many
 spline teeth are you planning on Jean? It is also not clear how
 you are going to retain the flange on the spline.

Good afternoon Paul
The flange will be secure between the bolt,s flange and the
reset on mainshaft, i am looking to add a small portion of taper
at the end of the flange and the shaft  for a better tight fit
when main bolt will be torque, a special shaft with same spline
as the planet to be machined and will be welded to a steel flat
bar as a tool to hold the shaft at the moment to torque the prop
flange bolt

I added a snap ring at the front to prevent the seal to coming
out.

I know your idea to machine the front planet and attached to the
inside flange flange shaft ,but my point of view it will be less
machine work and cost to machine the whole planet with the shaft
and it will be easier to mount the planet gears and will be
stronger and it will be one pce for lateral movement.
For machining it can be first drill sideway at each gear close
to the size and be finish with small end mill bits
,those gears shaft head can be pressure fit without driss pin
secure .

Just an idea.
With my design it will be less expensive and easier to replace
the planet ,the inside flange can have pins with  the planet
surface to increase the strenght, it,s already 6 holes of .250
for more oil feeding but can be use for pins between the shaft
flange and planet
