bearings in outdoor caster wheels have held up well.


That's cool. What's the weight on them?


They are under a lift platform that I use in the back yard. There
wasn't enough space to make them large enough to roll on dirt with a
load so they are stationary when lifting my snowblower etc. It's SO
much easier to work on small engines while standing up.

The other useful auction find for working on engines is a rolling cart
like this:

I use it for removed parts and hardware, to keep them close enough to
pick up the retaining screws while holding a part in place. The tool
box is on a folding table placed back out of the way.
