find some caster wheels and cut them apart for the wheels. Or try McMaster-Carr's website for something similar. |

sam replacement wheels for those are very hard to find unless you have parts machines. pre war stuff ive found parts dont exist unless you find parts machines or REALLY old vac shops. far as the wheels. scrap off the rubber until the wheels are thinner and round with a chisel or wide flate balde screw driver. youll have to do it the same on all 4 wheels but it will make the machine at last maneverable again.
