I have a wheel. A friend bought a home made powered wheel. It used an old
washing machine as the base and turned the large diameter stone. He wanted
the base and gave me the stone. I need to build an angle iron or wood base
for it. While repairing a certain backhoe a few years ago we replaced some
very worn swivel joints and I threw the old ones in my tool box. They will
be used on the pedal linkage.
