Moose Tail whell

After several incidents of tail wheel swivel failures, one involving actual bending of the stinger, I replaced the original Murphy tail wheel with an Alaskan Bush tail wheel. It required a "spacer" since their tail wheel is drilled for the 11/16" spring and the original Murphy spring is 1" (Alaska has the spacer, around $60). The bolt pattern and bolt size is also slightly different and require re-drilling of the stinger, Thus far the new tail wheel has performed excellent ,and the people at Alaska were #1 to deal with (also cheaper than a Scott).
