Re: (ET) Need deck wheels

I put casters on all 4 corners.  See my new deck on my website http://www.davesevs.com/E15restoration/19%20result.htm
 
I tried a few things before ending up with 6" casters at all 4 corners plus a sled runner on each end.  Its the last picture (at the bottom).

Subject: (ET) Need deck wheels

I need two 5-inch hard rubber front wheels for the deck on my E-12. They
have a 2-inch tread width and a 5/8 bolt hole. I think 2 of them might
fit in one of those usps boxes. Let me know your price. I live near
Kansas City.
Also, what to do about the 5/8 X 36 deck rear rollers steel axle which
has bent up in the middle, causing the end shoes to drag. I have bent it
back straight, but I think bending only softens it and makes the problem
worse. Could it be re-tempered? Can it be locked with screws, rotated in
the 180 degree position? I would rather have casters than the wood
rollers. Have any of you done that?

Thanks for any help.
