Ya got that right! Everything else can be right, but if the wheels aren't,
it's a pure d bitch.

The first thing that I did with my Harbor Freight crane, is to take
off the crappy casters, and weld on USA made 5 inch casters. Works
really great after about 5 years.

It takes that long to work great? :^)

I'd always taken advantage of the fact that Chinalloy wheels slid and
skidded so easily on concrete that they didn't really need to roll.
