OT? Wheels or casters for outdoor use?
Hello,
I've been using some 4X4 PT oriented in a triangle shape on the ground to support my snow plow when it's off of the vehicle. The blade of the plow straddles the "point" and the frame rests on the base. This temporary setup works very well and makes it easy for me to either attach or remove the plow with ease. What I would like to do is put them together as a frame and make it mobile as well. As far as putting the frame together goes, I was thinking about cutting half-laps in the ends of the 4X4 PT stock and assembling them as a triangle. With regard to making it mobile, I'm not sure about which type of casters or wheels to use for outdoors. I thought about possibly salvaging some old lawn equipment wheels (any pros or cons as to solid vs. pneumatic?) and mounting them on an axle recessed in a groove routed under the base of the triangle and using a swivel type caster on the point. Any suggestions as to which casters or wheels will hold up outdoors in the rain or snow? Links? Thanks in advance to those who post a reply here. Peter. |
