Daniel Putnam 14 #1 Posted September 2, 2019 I'm thinking about possibly making a steel radius roller type machine to make some steel wheels. (Classic steel wheels like in the picture) Would anyone be interested in steel wheels? I dont know if theres a market for something like that, but that would be the deciding factor if I make a machine to make them. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've wanted to do something like this for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been long fascinated by steel wheels, but am more of a build it myself kind of guy. It’s a great idea for field use, in my mind.... as long as it’s on some type of springer seat tractor! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
