10" solid wheels

Someone was needing some of there a while back. Maybe it was Sheepfarmer for one of her snowblowers.

I think they would be good for those inexpensive moving dollies with the tires that are always flat.

Thanks D2 I think it was my landscape rake, but around here it could have been anything. Today my trusty truck blew a brake line and had to be hauled bleeding closer to home on a flatbed. How humiliating

How lucky I figured it out while not on a fwy.

I do not miss living/working in the rust belt,I know I’m getting off the topic but I’ve replace hundreds of rusted brake lines,what kind of truck is it?

2003 Silverado HD Duramax. I don't wash it enough. The underneath is scary. It is a good truck and deserves better.

I’m not 100% on the hd’s but I’ve done a bunch of 1500s,Napa has a nice stainless brake line kit that has all the hard lines in it,if one blew the rest ain’t far behind,gm also has a whole kit available but it ain’t stainless lines

Thanks Len! I wanna fab up one of these and I need some "tars"...

They want $800 for this rig. A buddy just gave me a brand new blade I need to reconfigure and build into something like what is pictured. Those cheapie wheels will do great.

Ray, I think they also have some 13" wheels. No matter the diameter, they probably would not be good for a project requiring constant heavy loads. I'm just guessing, but knowing their origin they may still go "flat".....just in spots though!

Ya, that will get your welding skills tuned up. Make sure you have some of those magnetic angle holders. https://www.harborfreight.com/catal...tured+Weight,f,Sale+Rank,f&q=magnetic+holders

If the price of material keeps going up it might be cheaper to buy it

Already got the material. And a few more dumpster missions and I might be able to do it all in scrap. I cannot pass up a piece of square tube stock longer than 6". Even short ones make good gussets.

The welding shop often welds a couple pieces together as a fixture. They charge it off to the customer and chuck it in the bin. I bring it home and carefully cut it apart and use it. I made my generator tow device out of scrap I cut apart. Best thing I have made thus far.

Welding is a hoot.
