Question about 175B

Wayne wrote:

Just got the original POH, there was no CS prop on the 175 or 175
Skylark. On my plane the prop knob is in the cig lighter hole.

Bill Clarke says there was. Also. Skylark is the name of the 175; there
is not a 175 and a 175 Skylark.

They say that nothing's certain except death and taxes. The thing is,
death doesn't get worse every time Congress goes into session.

Hmmm, according to my POH, they are 2two different planes, although not much
different. The cover says
Your '61 Cessna 175B
and
Skylark
Owners Manual

Then in two separate rows, the specs for each. Shows the 175 having the
GO-300-C and the Skylark having the GO-300-D. The C is equiped with a
mechanically engaged starter and a vac pump on the right side of the prop

the D is all electric push button starter and the vac pump is on the rear of
the accessory case.

The dashes were different for the mechanical starter and many of the
"options" were standard on the Skylark.

I am only reading what I see, humbly, I am a 1967 model myself....
