'I have set of 4" wheels and brakes in Alaska that I would trade for
the Clevelands. I do not have an original tailwheel. These brakes
are on a 135 Cub and I assume that they are the same that are on the
J-3. Let me know.

'Thanks for your comments. The Curtis Reed is on the plane covered
by a 337 referencing the PT 26 and Widgeon with the 6-440-C5

'Is anyone using a Curtis Reed propeller on their Ranger 200 hp engine
on the Fairchild 24? I have received some conflicting reports and
comments on the benefits or detractions on using this propeller. Any
comments? Is there a benefit of wood over metal propeller?'

'Does anyone know where I can find a hub cap retaining clip for a 10"
Hayes wheel? Also, does anyone have a hub cap for the same wheel?'

'I have a set, but they are back in Alaska. I won't be heading back
up until mid May.

'I have about 450 hours on my engine, and to the best of my knowledge
it has always run on mineral oil. A mechanic suggested that I
switch to an AD oil. This has always been a no no. Any thoughts?
