Re-Tiring Status
Guys,
First, thanks for the clarification that the front and rear bogies are 20" in diameter. Unfortunately, stripping the old rubber from the bogie, turning the rim down, OD'ing the fork lift tire, boring out the steel sleeve on the inside of the fork lift tire, parting to width and pressing the assembly together took a lot more time than anticipated. The bill came in at almost $600. It looks good, is firmly secured to the rim and should work for the next 100 years. Bottom line - carrier restoration isn't cheap. Regards, Richard

Rich it may have been much much cheaper to re rubber the wheel rather than sweat on the rim.... Mind it was a good thought to try something different I may look into it again last time I tried I got quoted 70 per wheel and I thought that was pricey

$600 Well Spent
Yo RichardT,
70 for a re-tire sounds like a great price! I would imagine freight to the UK and back might add some expense. Anyways, we will continue to plug along with it. By the way, what can you buy with $600 that is going to last 100 years....it isn't a computer, TV, microwave, DVD player, iPad? Cheers guys. Snow is now gone and we will be busy finishing the bren for May 27th. I will keep MLU posted with pictures.
