MAULE TAIL TIRE W/ BEAR TW-23A
Quality part, especially nice having bearings already installed, decent price, rapid delivery installed on aircraft in less than 5 minutes and back in the air 15 minutes later! Whats not to like?
I searched all over for a TW-23 tail wheel. Your website said you were out of stock in Georgia and California. I called to find out how long and the order taker said you have it in stock!! Two days later I had my tail wheel. Thank you.
Great to have a new tire. A few things to adjust. It is a little narrower than the original. The axle rubs on the cover plate. This can be fixed with creative use of 0.03 and 0.06 washers, so that the cotter pin hole will line up with the castle nut while still being tight enough while moving the tire closer to the end of axle. Also the grease fitting hits the cotter pin so a grease fitting with a shorter thread should work. I wish there were no grease fitting. It would be easier to just take the cover off for greasing.
