The Wheels Page

The wheels did not present any special challenge with the exception that the instructions aren't quite clear on the brake cable adjustment eyebolt.   I believe it may be best to install at this time.  You will have to remove the brake shoes in order to accomplish this.  The following are some pictures of the wheel assembly and the wheel mounting:

Wheel assembly is straight forward.  I would recommend a light bead of 3 in 1 oil where the tire contacts the wheel rim.  I did not do that the first time and the tires deflated within 24 hours.

The tail wheel is fun to build.  Looks like it came from an in line roller skate.  Should be plenty of spares around.
