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.
