Tailwheel ID

[R. Mueller]

Hey all.....

I picked up a tailwheel a little while back, and am looking to sell
it, as I have no need for it, and would rather see it put to good use.
I've been told it might be a tailwheel for a P-51, or Texan, but
thought I'd throw out a line and see if anyone might know the
applications for it. The data plate says "Firestone Aircraft Co" and
it is a "12 1/2 x 4 1/2 C.T. Tail Wheel", "Ass'y Dwg. J0200FM-2". It's
in great shape.....surface corrosion on the ends, but completely
serviceable. Any help on the ID of this part would be greatly
appreciated, thanks,

R. Mueller

I have one of those tailwheels as well.

The P-51 / T-6G tailwheel part number (for the 12 1/2 x 4 1/2 channel
tread tire) is J0200M. This is a tapered axle configuration.

The J0200FM-2 looks much like the same animal, but is for a
straight-through (constant diameter) axle configuration.

If you find out the application for the J0200FM-2, please let me know
(I'd like mine to be put to good use as well....).

The J0200FM-2

Gentlemen,
I would love to find out how much you are willing to sell the tail wheel
assy for. I am looking for a wheel assembly in the restoring of a Snow 600-s2c

Please email me at

I would make it so much easier to have it moveable, i am 3 days into this
project. This would be a fine place to start.
