Hi all.

I have a '79 Arrow IV (non-turbo). My nose gear actuator (retract cylinder) has cracked at the hydraulic fitting and I am having one hell of a time finding any salvage/used units to replace it and a new one is over $4000! My plane is grounded until I can fix this.

The part number is 35797-03 or 455-997 or 11-16. This is the same actuator as the Arrow III (non-turbo) but is different from the Arrow I,II, and both of the turbo models (according to the parts catalogs). I have called every damn salvage company I can find. No one has them available.

I am really hopeful someone has one on hand or knows of someone that has one. I would be very happy to pay a reasonable price. PM me with any thoughts and thanks in advance!
