After seeing how much wheel kits cost I finally got around to making my own. Wheels kits online cost around $200 and these cost me about $15 plus scrap iron I had laying around. I copied and ideas found on texasbowhunter.com. It's just a piece of flat bar bend on both ends, round bar welded on for axles, and round bar welded on for pegs that slip into the rubber feet. The friction in the pegs is what holds them on. I still need to make something for the other end to level it off. If worst comes I can weld half a chain link to the bottom of the plate for the wheels and run a strap to the tie down holes to keep them in place.

Finally, got around to making the front leveler this week. I made a set for my 45, too. Now, I'm set to hit the p raids. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1423252127.577419.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1423252141.740745.jpg |

I'm not old, I'm 37. Moving a 105 by yourself, loaded isn't too much fun. I don't believe carrying the 45 a mile or so loaded won't be too much fun either. |
