Solar T62T-32 Jet Turbine Engine Run

[DeltaLou]

I have a T62T-32 that I am listing on Ebay shortly. Feel free to message me if you want any info.

Question? what is that wire for at the end of the exhaust, Is it for reading exhaust temperatures?

[JetPropellerLabs]

@honeybunchickens Yes, that is the exhaust gas temperature thermocouple.

Cool man... you should be a very proud owner... Keep it up :) I just wish I had something like that myself...

[JetPropellerLabs]

@kylemontanaro Thanks!

Cool, may I ask what you do with this? Is this a hobby or...?

[JetPropellerLabs]

Yes, it's a hobby. This was my first turbine engine that I got running. After firing it up I wanted to build a vehicle powered by a turbine, but the T62 was difficult to adapt due to its single spool design and lack of an internal speed governor, so I built a turbine powered golf cart using a JFS-100 engine, which you might have seen video of here on youtube.

Good video ! I have wanted a T-62 for a few years now.... I check eBay now and then, but can never seem to find a good running one for under $4000. And ideas ? I would like one to put in a tractor :)

[JetPropellerLabs]

Glad you liked the video. Unfortunately I can't think of a cheap solution, other than, say, finding one that's not a demonstrated runner but spins freely and isn't missing any parts, which you could get running and might be at least a little cheaper. You might check with Bruce at Avon Aero. He's the best supplier to turbine hobbyists that I know of. Interestingly enough I'm working on a tractor myself but using a Garrett GTP30 engine. Good luck!

[JetPropellerLabs]

My apologies, I don't have the information you requested. You can buy the maintenance manual from Essco Aircraft online.

[RedneckCam666]

What is the output shaft rpm of the unit at governed speed?

[JetPropellerLabs]

The output spline turns at 6,000 RPM at rated speed.

Hi, i have the same engine, but did not ran it yet! I cant find in the maintanance manual what the turbine shaft реар play tollerance should be? Any help will be appreceated.
