Maule Tailwheel Re-build or New?

[Ryan_Pitts-S1S]

Anyone have advice on re-building or buying a new Maule tailwheel? Looks like my bushings are wearing out and everything else on the tailwheel looks old/worn out. If i'm going to spend 200 on parts and 100 on labor, seems I might as well buy the new one for 500.

But according to aircraft spruce, new ones are back ordered until the end of February.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
Ryan
