C-97!! Still need some TO's... specifically "TO 4W1-7-1013"

[Airlift48]

This is for the Main Landing Gear wheel for the C-97. We need to finish installing the tires and need the TO.

This may delay engine startup. (You all want to hear those 4360s going, no?) Help us find this info ASAP!

This is for the Goodrich Main Landing Gear Wheel 3-1136 and 3-956

Thanks!

tbt.

Still in a holding pattern here. Need TO 4W1-7-1013 or TO 4W1-7-1143

Have you tried contacting the Minnesota Air National Guard Museum? They have one on display and opertated KC-97s until the early 70s. They may have what you are looking for in their archives:

We have a Goodrich Rep here at work (think big Airline)...a friend of mine is going to see if the Rep can help, no guarantee but I will try.

These folks are very good at supplying obscure manuals.

I'm sure y'all have already tried Essco, but here's a landing gear manual... No T.O. # listed...

Yes, we did try Essco. Not the right one.

Still need the p/n for the seal between the wheel halves!

B-52 guys? Its the same wheel...

Newport wont sell it to me b/c we dont have some State Department/ DOD clearance.. Its "current" technology.

I wonder what all the other former C-97 Civvie operators did.

I also asked the guy to just give me the p/n. I dont think he knows how to read the manual properly or he didnt want to bother...


This is a real hangup for us right now.

Kevin, I am sending .PDF files of both manuals (T.O. 4W1-7-1013 and T.O. 4W1-7-1143) to both your and Tim Chopp's emails. Please let me know if you don't receive them. Good luck on the project!

Unless the info Mark got you is what you were needing I have a friend in the 151st ARW who has been able to help with ancient manuals for an F-86L - he might be able to help with the C-97 and especially since it was once a Utah bird No promises but he might be able to help.
