Doc Shapiro Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I've a hankering to build a simple guncart this winter during the "rainy" season. Looking for wheels. Anyone have an online source for basic wheels that don't need to be pumped up? Any and all ideas welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace_of_Hearts Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I have used these on two gun carts. Cheap and hold up well. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Arnold-14-in-Wheel-for-Universal-Application/50063481 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I use either of these wheels from Northern Tool. They are both 20” garden cart tires. The one with five spokes gets a foam inner tube in place of the neumatic one that it comes with. The one with seven spokes won’t work with a 1/2” axle unless you make a sleeve because the bearings that come with it are for 5/8” or 3/4” axles. That’s right they send you two different sets of bearings with each wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. O. R. Vet Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Doc Shapiro, Not sure if you saw my post on a gun cart on a budget or not. https://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/266358-gun-cart-on-a-small-budget/&do=findComment&comment=3469681 I found a jogging stroller at a flea market and paid $20 for the entire cart. Might just be the kind of wheels you are looking for. I've found 2 more almost identical to them since I wrote the post. They seem to be fairly plentiful at flea markets. If all you want is the wheels, this might work for you. Dr. O. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 8 hours ago, Doc Shapiro said: What do you use for the axel? I used 1/2" rod from the hardware store and datoed a 1/2" X 1/2" groove in a 3/4" board to attach it. I left the board an 1/8" long on each end to keep the wheel from rubbing on the cart.

Chili Ron Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Howdy, Local city folks have a sale on unclaimed stuff. bikes go for a dollar or two. They each have two wheels and Ive often thought some of the smaller wheels would make great cart wheels. It takes getting to the auction and a bit of cleaning up but The prices are next to free. I watched a kid ride away from the auction on a bike that cost him a whole QUARTER. That's a usable twenty five cent bike. I bet every town in the country has these sales. Leave the leftovers at the curb and I bet they disappear quick. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Ron Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Howdy, I was just at walmart and they are selling out grille stuff. Including some grille wheels in three different sizes. The middle size was 12 each. Non newmatic, plastic but might hold together a while. NOT fancy or western looking. Might do for a while.
