Default "Grass USA" Drawer Slides??

Hi all,


Hoping that someone can help, and tell me the part number for a "Grass
USA" drawer slide, that I need a replacement for. The front wheel on
mine broke off last night, and I am having a hard time trying to find
the product number of this part.



At first I thought it was a "Blum" drawer slide, but I read that "Blum"
has their name "Blum" stamped on there, along with the product number.
My drawer slider only had a "G" on there, that looked like this: G*.
After searching the internet, I found out that it was made by a company
called "Grass USA".



There is NO numbers of any kind on this thing at all. And all the ones I
have seen for sale all look different then mine, with the screw hole in
the wrong place.



I found a pic from a guy, who has one exactly like mine, as he was
looking for the back bracket. Notice in the pic how there are 2 screw
holes, 1 on each side of the wheel, this is what I need. My brackets
have a 1 screw hole to the left of the wheel, and 1 screw hole to the
right of the wheel.



Here is a pic of what my slider looks like:

Does anyone know what part number this one is, and where I can find a
replacement??



Thanks!

Your pictures are not worth 1000 words. Too small, unlabeled, etc. I
can't tell what's broken. This might be a thing where you need to modify
and adapt. Is the wheel detached, or is the piece that holds the wheel
broken into pieces? Fitting a new loose wheel (readily available) or
modifying a similar bracket to make it work in your situation are
options.

Yes. the wheel completely broke off, and when the wheel broke off, it
failed to stop the drawer from coming all the way out, and so the metal
track/rail that the drawer fits into bent as well.

The thing is, even if I find a new wheel, the original wheel which
snapped off, was soldered in place. I don't have any soldering tools, to
solder it in place?

For Gawds sake, get a new slide and quit whining.

I need a wheel, but I can not install the wheel. I would say there is
one chance in a few million that it is soldered on, likely welded or
pressed in. Hmm? Maybe get the wheel and hire a welder to weld it on?
That would be cheap, right?

Get a new slide.

Those are a very generic, inexpensive roller slide.

Take the one you've got to local building supply/big box/hardware store
and pick the closest pair they've got and replace the pair on that
drawer. In a week you'll not even remember they're not quite the same.

Be surprised if they're more than $5-7 the pair...
