Please expect 2-4 weeks.
Wheels are rated at up to 125 lbs. per wheel with hickory spokes diameter of 1”. The axle diameter is ½” with a 2-3/4” wide hub. The iron wheel rim is 1/8” thick x 1” wide. The rubber tire option adds approximately ¾” to the diameter of the wheel.
With aluminum being a softer metal running on a steel axle, the wheels are not suitable to be used for long distances on working wagons without boring out the hubs and adding metal bushings. They are a good choice for retail display and produce carts that may need to be rolled in and out short distances for sidewalk displays. They will be a rougher grade wood more suitable for ornamental and rustic applications than for a furniture premium grade stain and varnish project. You may need to add some filler in spots and do additional sanding if you plan on painting or finishing them.
The optional metal stub axles consist of a round ½” short metal axle welded to a flat plate that can be bolted on the bottom of a wooden axle frame allowing any width of cart or wagon design. Click Here for more information.
The wheels are unfinished.
