I am looking for two serviceable axles Cessna P/N 0441158-1. These axles allow the installation of 6:00x6 wheels and brakes vs. the 5:00x5 that I want to remove. I have plenty of axles for the C-150G models and later, however, the bolt pattern on the Cessna 150D/E is different.
Thanks,

Would it be easier to change the spring gear to get the more common bolt pattern? Just talking off the top of my head here as I have no experience with the earlier 150's.

The 1959 150 thru 1965 E models used the same early gear. 1966 150F thru 1970 150K used flat gear, but it is not interchangeable with the early models because of the mounting difference. Same with axles, same model range... different bolt pattern.

Did you Google 0441158-1, Gordon? There seems to be a few used early axles on the market. They fit 1959-1965 150's, early 172's, 175's, and 180's. P/n 1441003-1 is the heavy duty axle for early 180's and should also work with your gear and 6.00x6 wheels.

Is the inboard end of the flat gear different between straight-tails and slant-tails?

The part number is different between the two, but that may just represent the different bolt pattern at the axle end. I'm wondering if, mechanically, the later flat-gear would bolt up and fit in the earlier fuselage. The landing gear bulkhead is the same between the two, so it just might work.

Of course, getting 337 approval might be difficult since the part numbers don't interchange between the two aircraft.

Yes, the mounting is different, the angles are different, and the mounting bolt holes don't line up, as well as axle mounting bolt spacing being different. This is easily seen laid side by side (I have both sets). Early '59 gear is a different part number, also, as the wheels were moved further aft on later models.

I have a set off my '59 parts plane. The AC had 6.00X6 McCauley's mounted on it when I bought it so they should work for you. PM me if you are still looking.

Thanks Jim! These axles are in excess to my needs, so why not send them on to a fellow member that could use them? I do not claim to be Santa, but if I do not watch it, I may end up with his Jolly Belly!

Well, I learned something new. The axles I have will not work for Gordon. Come to find out, the gear box and landing gear were changed out to a newer model on my parts airplane. I did some digging in the logbooks and paperwork from that AC and found a 337 showing the change. The original 1959 landing gear and gear box was removed and replaced with the landing gear from a 1967 150.



This approval process may be easier now that I have a signed/approved copy of a 337 for this change. I will make my copy available to any member that is looking to make this same change.
