This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Hi
Could any wixers be able to ID this tailwheel for me, I picked it up many years ago at a car boot sale. I believe its NA, but would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

I can't specify this one to an A/C.
These types of wheels and tires were also used on ground support equipment. I have seen 3 of these mounted to castors for a dolly for for a F-86 engine.

The wheel that you pictured is not for an aircraft. It was used for ground handling equipment only. It did use the same tire as the T-6G and the P-51. All aircraft wheels have plenty of specs either embossed or cast into the wheel, ground handling equipment does not.
