What is the prop blade number for a T-6? I'm trying to identify some blades in the hanger.

Thanks.

The TCDS says the blades are 6101-12 through -14 (12D40 hub).

6101 Blades were used on several applications depending on the length of the blade and thus the overall dia of the prop.
Prop info doesn't give individual blade lengths.
If you pm me I can give a rough length of the 6101 blade as used on a T-6.
Usually they end up getting shorter with time from material removed during overhauls. If the prop smacks the ground or hits something they can often get straightened, but extra grinding often is needed and the prop blade will shorten, thin and get it's cross section reduced much faster.
