Why not take a piece of 3/4" rod, and turn the ends down to 5/8" and put
a cotter pin in each end so the wheels dont fall off? If you want to be
fancy..you can thread both ends for .625 and put a lock nut on both
ends?

That would require knowledge, expertise, and a lathe, of which I have none.

And yet you complain if we employ them.

Can you drill and tap the ends for 5/8" bolts? Their shanks are
somewhat undersized.
