MB Trac Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 First wheel complete. Have a larger flotation wheel underway. Pics later today hopefully. What do tou think? Wheel in pic diameter 22mm. Casting this week. Either white metal centre and rubber resin tyre. Or resin centre. Pics not the best. Detailing on them has turned out excellent hexagon nuts etc will try get better pics. I am hoping to do a range of wheels and one off's to customer requirements for a particular conversion. At the moment im trying different casters to see which is the best, any suggestions for recommended casters are welcome Quote

Jez Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Nice return for you MBtrac. I would say depending on cost, white metal and rubber tyre. Quote
Tractorman810 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 metal middle rubber tyre would be better, when you say flaots i take it you mean fatter width tyres of the same size?? Quote
MB Trac Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 metal middle rubber tyre would be better, when you say flaots i take it you mean fatter width tyres of the same size?? Yes ones similar to the siku krone mower Quote
Tractorman810 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 mmm can see at least 2 pairs of each heading my way then, maybe 3 pairs of each, got several bits i need to finish, and they seem from the pics to suit perfectly Quote
