Hello all,

We are replacing the wheel bearings and races on my MX7-160 that have stock 600-6 Cleveland wheels. I called Aircraft Spruce who have the Timken bearings in stock but they don’t know which races are needed for these wheels. I called both Cleveland and Maule with no luck. Does anyone know the original inner and outer race part numbers or Timken part numbers?

Thank you,

Marlin

Airframes Alaska is very knowledgeable about Cleveland wheel assemblies and offer all replacement parts. This page has a diagram and they sell everything you need. Look at items 13 and 14.

I was a bit shocked when i cleaned and packed my wheel bearings in my abi wheels…. No name brand or pn, just CHINA embossed…

China manufactures some real garbage. They also make some very high quality products. The same is true of most countries. Thus far, I haven’t seen any issues with the ABI bearings. I can’t speak to why they choose to not put a manufacturer name on them, but I have been using them myself for some years now, as have several of my customers, and we’ve had no problems.

Thanks to all who answered online and in person. We ended up using the same bearings as original. I haven’t flown it yet but I should by next month.
