No clicking. Thanks for the tip though. Speaking of pushing it, one person
pushing a Moose/SR around by themselves is no small feat! I've been using my
truck and a rope to turn it around once in a while to melt the ice off the
windshield using the power of the sun. I can't do it myself. By the way, my
neighbor at the airport told me how he used a hair dryer to melt the ice off
of his windshield and caused a small, permanent warpage doing it. I thought
of doing that myself and probably would have been fine with my 1/4 inch
windshield, but word to the wise for those of you with a standard thickness
(thin) windshield ...

If you don't hear clicking pushing it... you're probably just fine!

[quote]Much thanks Wayne. Wonder if I should pull my bearings to check the cones!

Mike.. as Bob stated they are (almost) the same wheels as the Rebel/Elite.
Same in all measurements EXCEPT the bearing bore is machined bigger. Axle
is
1.5" on the SR/Moose.. 1.25 on the Rebel.
Bearings in the SR wheels that I have.. tapered rollers are KOYO HI-CAP
JL-69349-N and it's matching cone that fits a 2.5" bore. I didn't remove
the
cone to get a number.
Glad I actually looked for you. The one bearing I pulled the dust seal off
etc to remove.. found the cone had been installed with a screw driver or
chisel. Sharp marks in two spots on the cone edge so deep that they bulged
the cone and two deep nicks in the cone face itself. !!$$$%&&**%*(!!!
Pads are definitely 66-106's

[quote]Sure appreciate it Wayne. Don't un-package the whole container just for
this. I'm sure I can figure it out myself. Just thought if the numbers
were
handy...

I'll grab the wheels, from the marine container the SR is in, tomorrow
and
get bearing numbers off of them if I can... and compare to the Rebel JDM
wheels I have in the shop as well Mike.

[quote]66-106 is a really common lining. That's probably correct. Is it just
different bearings or are the wheels different?
The 20 foot container cost from Fairbanks to Armidale, Australia was
$17K
so
it's starting to sound like I'm likely not going to get a better price
by
much in today's dollars all the way to Australia. Even with the stinger,
cowl, and engine mount off, the fuselage is still 21 feet long. Even
angled
in the container I doubt the 20 foot container will work. I think $26K
is
a
deal breaker for the "take it to Australia" idea.

They are not the same.. the SR.. or at least the one I have here have 1
1/2"
ID Bearings.. the Rebel has 1 1/4" bearings.
Pads are 66-106's.. from memory.. but my brain's a little frazzled after
fixing boat hulls all day.
Mike when I shipped that Rebel to Maui... that I sent you pictures of...
total cost for him was just shy of $11,000. That was truck to bring
container to me.. truck to take it to Toronto.. train to Vancouver and
down
to Los Angeles and then boat to the big island and then off load and
shuttle
boat to Maui.

Hi Mike !
The wheels & brakes are all JDM's - made by Murphy. The linings
are compatible with Clevelands, but much cheaper from Rapco.
These are the same wheels & brakes as the Rebel, except you
have 2 calipers.
I'm sure we'll find a buyer for you - just might take a while
in this economy !! :-( Be a lot easier when/if it is in the
lower 48 ... Is the time flown off, so you can ferry it down ??

I'm assuming I can use 8.50-6 tires if I want? True? I'm also assuming
