Just picked up a newer soda machine and I can not find the screw casters that will hold a 800lb machine. Does anyone know where I can find screw in heavy duty casters or have them for sale?? Please let me know!

Thanks,
Brian

Strangely enough you might actually look for a castor store.  There's one in Pensacola that I used to go to regularly because they had a huge variety to choose from (more so than Lowe's or HD).

Another thought - consider a mobile machine base?  I purchased one at a tool store, rated for 1000#, which adjusts to various sizes.  I just put the unit together around the base of the unit -- the wheels are on the outside of base, and the machine nestles into the base unit, so it's extremely stable.  I've used mine for over a month and it's been really good.  The brand I purchased is from Jet - they have several for different weight / measures.  You probably could find them through Amazon or other tool stores on line or where major tools are sold.  Good luck!

Is this the right size for a newer style soda machine for the thread on the bottom of the machine?
Threaded Stem - 5/8" - 11 x 1 3/4"

I tried Home Depot, Lowes, and looked into Grainger(don't have exact size as above). If that is the size I need through Caster City, I will probably go with them. I just don't want to buy casters through them and realize I really need 1/2" thread. I can not find my vise grips right now to take out a leg leveler and check, so that is the reason I am asking if anyone has replace levelers with threaded wheels on a new style Dixie Narco or Vendo Machine.

Thanks,
Brian
