I would say, most regular wheels have 5/8" hole in their hubs, and so
I would suggest buying regular 5/8" 3' rod from Home depot. That is
what I have on my generator. Which is pretty heavy.

Not very cheap at about $5, but works well.

I am always needing to put tires on some items that I use such as large
fans, homemade generator/s, carts, etc. I have used drill-rod once in an
emergency. Other times, all-threaded rod but I know there is other
material that has to be cheaper.

What am I overlooking that is dirt-cheap, like me?


Thanks
