| Subject: | Re: tail wheel turning right |
*The one in your picture looks like it might slide right on my shaft.I
mounted one of those wider tail wheels really easily on my FireStar. The
inside diameter of the bearing is 5/8" and the original shaft on the
assembly is 1/2", so just needed a short length of 5/8" tubing with a wall
thickness such that it would slide over the original shaft. Found that in
the offcuts from someone else's building project. Notched out one end so it
would fit over the support tubing, then a 3/16" bolt to secure it. Could
weld it if you had access to a welder. Works a heck of a lot better than
that pizza cutter which finally collapsed.... The new tail wheel is
