What wheels are you using in the rear? Pictures would help. | ||

Old Kirby Wheel Replacement To repairman, I used a small hacksaw and cut off the axle ends of the wheels and used 5/16 flat washers. if I tighten the screws all the way , the wheels will not turn. I would like to find that type of screw , but longer. | ||

Those are the rear wheels for the 1CR, Classic Omega, and Classic III. They're slightly wider. As far as I know, you can still get tan wheels (132062) or green wheels (132067). | ||

You
Can paint a tan or green wheel black. The other alternative is get 2 more extension screws and put wide black wheels on the rear. If you get a longer screw its going to show threads and its going to look like poop. If you like narrow wheels paint tan or green wheels. If you like wide wheels get 2 more screw extensions and get 2 more wide wheels.
The wheels on there now are made for 16 inch machines and the look goofy with the lip on them. | ||
