If its a sealey? They do parts for most of their equipment.

think it is , but its old , i dont see any that fit like mine , others have a stud and nut fitment

anyone know how they come apart? the bit where the wheel pivots?

Smallest cast iron castors seem to be 75mm dia, which would lift the back of the jack 10mm. Width is correct. Need to check clearance at the top.

Buy 1 1/2" of 60mm diameter cast iron bar off M-Machine and sand it down a bit. Or buy 3" and make a pair. That would only require a hacksaw and drill.

CI bar also available in 2" dia., which would slam the jack 2.5mm for extra street cred.

Use a shoulder bolt for the axle.

Would I trust anything, from cheap chinese outlets, for use on anything with any safety related risks? No I wouldn’t!

where do you think 99% of jacks are made now ?

It would be interesting to put some scales under the jack when it is loaded. I think the majority of the weight would be on the front wheels.

I also wonder what the failure mechanism would be: unless there was some impact load, failure of the cast iron wheel itself would seem less likely than other parts of the rear castor structure as a whole.

Just been and checked the mancupboard horde .
It appears I have a cast iron one that you can have . It had a 10mm pin hole the actual boss is about 30 mm shoulder face to face . It came off a repurposed 750 kg motorcycle hydraulic lift platform .. I put bigger better Delrin wheels on it .

PM me your name address & postcode if you want it .
