I HAVE EVEN DROVE THE TRUCK AROUND THE BLOCK ON THEM {ONE TIME}THE ONLY PAIN IS CHANGING THE WHEELS BACK AND FORTH. SEE PIC IN DITY GALLERY.

All I found was one photo of a forklift rim mounted to the steering axle which isn't a bad idea. In fact the whole project looks good. http://picasaweb.google.com/crenwelgeoil/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCOianpPV962_Hw#5443445292205427154 I think you have to be a member of Snapfish to get in. I get into things like that with a Yahoo address that I never check.

Someone welded the wheel center for a combine in a truck rim. They would swap the tires and drive the combine right in. Swapping the tires was a pain but it beat working outside in the winter.
Before you weld on any rims, be sure to watch Bridgestone's video on pyrolisis. You can find it on youtube. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 19 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 19 | Here in Jackson is where they make Teragators and Rogators and that's how they move the big floaters around the plant. Just old shabby tires mounted on rims with the right hub configuration.
