Re: $170 Leaf Spring Bushing
Thanks gentlemen!! I will try to measure mine when I get back to the hangar. It did fit snug in the 4 new springs. Log book goes back to 92 and not one mention of any mx to the tailwheel. I'm sure a few more would be fine!

Re: $170 Leaf Spring Bushing
Bringing this post back from the dead! Man $170 doesn't seem so bad anymore. I have a little pitting on the bushing, but no uneven wear. What would you professionals do?

Re: Mixture/Prop/Throttle replacement for 180hp 170B
Thanks Jim! So you do have a loop? 180? As well? Your description doesn't give me like trying to upload a Pic on this forum! 🤦🏻♂️. First Pic is "the loop" second Pic is just the firewall pass through and the prop gov attach point. Thanks again for the help! 20240202_144555_resized.jpg 202...

Re: Mixture/Prop/Throttle replacement for 180hp 170B
Thanks all! I agree the loop doesn't seem right. But if that is normal I don't mind replacing, I guess I'm just reaching out to see if anyone has a loop on there's.

I have reached out to a few members, but thought I’d get some last minute advice before I purchase new cables. I have been doing the leg work so my mechanic doesn’t have to, ...

Prebuy/Annual around the Duluth area
Hello all,
After snooping around the Soo on Wed and OSH I'm getting close to pulling the trigger. However I was wondering if anyone had any mx A&P connections up in the Duluth MN area??
Thx again for all your help.
