Anyone know of which other brands fit wheel horses? It's near impossible finding them around me they all sell instantly but theres other brands out there. Or maybe a brand to buy new

WHX??

Most other brands fit Mark. JD, Craftsman, Simplicity, Cub .....As long as they are for a 12 or 8 inch rim or whatever size you have . When looking for rears just make sure they have a 81/2 inch across bolt pattern. With a few exceptions most all rims have the same patterns. @PeacemakerJack gave me a set of these and I think he said they were Cubs. You may have to come up with a way to mount them if you can't find long 1/2" carriage bolts. Threaded rod comes to mind.

I can't seem to post any more pics but took a piece of 1/2x2 flat bar put a 1" hole in the center and 2 holes to mount in the holes in the rim and welded a piece of 1" rod to the flat bar and use 10 and 25 lb barbell weights.  Once the "Ts" are bolted to the rims no tools are needed to remove or install the weights, no pinched fingers and no hossing a 50 lb block of unobtainium around.
