Lowell,
How about inventing something to jack the wheel in the air for the bush gear ? This sure would be helpful for checking the brakes,greasing the bearings,etc.
I currently use a small floor jack and use the 1/4 inch of protruding axle on the other side of the wheel. It is VERY precarious ! I was thinking about a device like I used to use on my Cessna 120. It attached to the spring gear with a couple of bolts and made a flat surface to put a jack under.
Maybe a split tube,device with a flat plate welded on and attach it to the down tube where it attaches to the axle cluster ? You are a great inventor !
