Re: homemade tank cart using spare tires

Thanks for the nice comments. The pics make the tires looked like they are way off, but it must be the camera lens. I positioned the wheel bearings so it gave a slight toe-in and slight negative camber (i actually measured). Outside measurement from one wheel to the other is 30 1/2". I work at a power plant and will move a contractor's big steel wheeled cart around and they work ok, but are noisy and huge to accomidate various sizes of tanks. The hoses don't flop around and i added a hook to hang the torch head on. I'm going to weld on a hanging loop so after i'm dead the next owner can use my chain fall to pick it up and put in his truck. Then the new owner can tell my wife and/or kids "he thought of everything"
