    I started running 3 blades, approximately 1977 - 78 time frame. Made from again 48-23636 Kamics, Dick Fickett cut them apart and welded them back into a 3 blade and Papa Smith worked it. Then later Craig Dewald was making 3 blades from castings similar to these original ones.

    Was that one of the three blades that had about a 1/8" weld then a 3/8" air gap. We were throwing blades off 2 blade ASH whels at the time and I wondered how those things held together. Then I remembered that Dick could weld a fart to a cloud.

    I sent a box of one and 2 blade stuff to Czblewski (sp? ) in 79 but he died and I never did get a 3 blade.

    We still don't know the dyno reading for a 20H, but the conversion made so much more power the original 20H cranks would break.

    Yes, Dick Ficket was very good....... Never threw any blades. They were welded on the hub cut into 120 degree wedges.

    I just found where Hubbell's dyno figures were. His 60's catalogues advertised dyno testing for stocks and said that decent engines read as follows : KG4-16hp, Kg7-18 hp, unconverted 20H-21 hp, 30H-30 hp and 40H-40 hp. Even if the conversion added 15% that would only be 24 hp. Although dynos differ the Champion claim of 26 hp for a B stock seems like damn good advertising to me.
