A friend gave me two rims and tires that would fit my Gravely so I rolled a 3 x 13 in hoop on the old rim roller.
Welded it up and cut it in half making 2 1-1/2in rings,used a 6in hole saw (noisy)cut the center out.
8 9-1/2 carriage bolts.
Duals for old Gravely.

| That turned out nice. A roller is not something that gets used a lot but I would love to have one. |

| Nice! Definitely a savings there doing it yourself. |

| Nice job, Ron, that roller certainly wasn't made last week. |

It was made to roll the rims for wagons so it wasn't last week. |

I'd love to meet the people who have worked with that in the past. |

 Amazing!!! Great job Ron. You must have a lot of patience. |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.
