it's those axles! I went through and looked over the thread again. I've seen those axles but never really thought about them.

Thanks man, yep, they put me through both chemo & radiation therapies at the same time, all done now but still feel like something the cat dragged in looking forward to a good year after I kick these nasty side effects.

This is how I did the dualies:




I used M8x90mm bolts, cut the shank down to 35mm, then drilled and tapped M4 thread into each end. This allows the M8 bolt to secure the first wheel, and provides the hex for the second wheel, which is then secured by a M4 bolt. Locktite will be a must!


This is the begining of a dump trailer to go on the back that I did when before I had the parts to start the tractor unit.

I like the ingenuity used to make the dualies. Gives me some ideas for a project I've had sitting on the shelf for a long time awaiting inspiration.
