New wheels for my spare flathead

Put some Harbor Freight casters on my stand from Stumpy's fab works, now I can roll my spare flathead around the shed.

Nice.
I always find that I wish I had used 4 swivel castors that are BIGGER.

Yep, the biggest casters you can find (preferably with ball bearings), the better.

Here's another reason to use larger casters : When I built my test stand, I bought a set of 3 inch casters because they looked right and I was only going to use it on the smooth concrete floor in my shop. The first time I tried to mount an engine on it, I discovered the legs of my "Cherry-Picker" wouldn't quite fit under the side rails of the engine stand. Off come the casters and on went a set of 4 inchers.

Something to consider.
