Title: Casters for Ideal 55 Post by: ZMonet on December 30, 2006, 07:31:48 am I promise you guys this will be my last question for a little while. Sorry to pepper you guys, but this board has been a great resource. Anyway, I'm trying to find casters that will fit my Ideal 55 Slider since I'm starting to make some headway on its restoration. I went to Home Depot and Lowes but the only casters they had didn't have threaded bolts. Since there are already four holes drilled on the bottom of the machine stand, I figure I should use. Can anyone suggest a place to buy threaded casters that would work well?
Would something like this work well?

I just bought 3 or 4 that looked right and tried them all and found a match.. Check again or ask someone, I believe they are a standard size?

The wheels are actually a little too big and they rub the bottom of the frame when it's moved on the straight axis.

them lower a couple threads. Title: Casters for Ideal 55 Post by: BryanH on January 14, 2007, 05:44:24 pm Yeah - I'm going to shim it with a couple fender washers...
