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.


Oh? I thought you said it was under your solar array. /doubletake


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.


I have a HF 2-shelf metal style, similar to those. Works a treat.
