Like to have a couple of pix for the Gallery

Bob

apparantly the pics were too large to send, i've sent them to an e-mail address you had before, hopefully it's still valid (sbc).

it was scrapped in place, we do have some pictures of the carnage if you want some,

the l/h wing from 9815 was shipped to Ogden to replace the damaged wing on 89-1187 (Niagara AFRC, mid air drone strike in AOR) almost ready to deliver.

What exactly are you looking for? The PDM work spec? The MRRB is very broad and covers hours/financial as well as the nuts and bolts.

Like steve 1300 says, these are commonly used at PDM. We often will have all 4 engines, both wings and the horizontal and vertical removed at the same time. The weights keep the nose planted down without putting the weight on the airframe.

BINGO! those are exactly what we have been using. Many thanks, a couple of us had searched the -3 using a word search, funny thing; you have to use the proper words! My co-worker who needed the info, thanks you very much, so do I, Herky-bird comes thru again,

thanks all,

Does anyone know where to find a part number or print for lead nose weights?

The ones I'm talking about weight about 1100 to 1200 pounds, are cast in lead and hang from the forward jack pads. Ours at Hill are old and will Need to be replaced soon. Thanks all,

Thanks for the info, I guess I should have read the JG first, now if we can find a vendor that supplies them pre-packed.........thanks again.

We are currently routing our brand new bearings to the wheel and tire shop for the full monty job that used bearings would be subjected to. When I was a mechanic on the line we would hand pack the new bearings and install them, we're trying to cut down on useless processes. I was hoping to find a tech reference that states new bearings do not need the full inspection quoted in the 44B-3-1.

Does anyone know the criteria for inspection on MLG wheel bearings? T.O. 44B-1-3 lists all the criteria for inspecting used bearings, what if the bearing is new, in the package. Can the bearing just be cleaned, packed with grease and installed, or must it be run through the whole rigamorole of a used bearing?
