Casters for Brutus

[bluelou6]

My neighbor is welding up a Brutus 10 for me. Which casters are the right ones? The threaded bolts or the plate connectors?

I would say bolt on, for sure. The larger diameter wheel the better it will roll. On a side note; I put swivel casters on all four corners and regret it now. When I change them I will put fixed on two and swivel on two.

Are you working from my plans Blue? I call out the exact casters and inserts that you need...

Indeed Lonnie. I'll go back to the BYO article. I was going from the parts list. Thanks.

Why didn't you like the 4 swivel? I'm looking to upgrade from the shopping kart , parallel parking setup I've got now.

I would say that the rig is too heave to steer the ass end as you are pulling it. I use to pull mine through my shop to wherever I was going to brew and just the slab being graded for rain runoff would takeover the end that I wasn't holding. Make you sweat it you are pulling next to a vehicle or something that might scratch your brew rig!

I think two stationary would be be better too.

Those expanding rubber casters are sweeet!

Don't forget to check out Surplus Center if you have not bought them yet. Bugeater turned me on to this place for motors.
