<div dir="ltr">I bought a swivel caster for mine that actually works pretty good. Got it off Amazon, The specifc one I ordered is not available anymore but it was a cheap chinese brand. I took a chance on it because it was super cheap on sale. If I needed another one I'd probably check reviews on eTrailer. The reviews seem a lot more honest over there.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 1:56 PM <<a href="mailto:eric@megageek.com">eric@megageek.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Take it apart, it is more likely completely
