Made my own Easy Move System

[bluemonster1]

and it works great.Took a while to get it right,but finally got it done.Now I can roll the sleds to the back shed from my Garage without starting them up and running on the grass.Also made a 12" wheel adapter for it to run on gravel/grass.Otherwise it has 5 " Yamaha idler wheels mounted for in the garage.
Some pics here also..

a few more pics of the mover in move mode.I can use this to raise back of sleds in order to run the tracks,or raise the front and work on the ski's..

I love to build things out of metal,and the mig welder comes in handy for a lot of things.My welds have never let go yet..

Nice work, I have seen simular that you can buy but love the homemade that really works!

I had some tubular metal laying around doing nothing,so I thought to myself lets try and make this thing.It only really cost me some weld wire and paint,the tubes were sitting here for years collecting dust.

Chris,
I do 95% of my welding with a little 120V wirefeed I got at Menards. It was just a couple hundred bucks. Got a gas bottle and regulator. Im in the market for a TIG though too. Before my accident I worked for a fab shop making large stainless vessels. If you need some stuff welded, let me know.

if you had to buy the steel,it may cost a lot now..For me to purchase one Easy Move with a big wheel kit,shipping,tax,exchange would be around $400 to $450 I estimate.You have to find some scrap metal for cheap,buying new is to expensive now a days..I priced it out kast year from Princess Auto,and it was way to much..
I just used the 12 inch wheels from my yard sprayer,which doesn't get used very much..I just switch between the two..no need to buy extra wheels either..more savings..
