Something actually worked out

Ok, not much of a deal, but I was surprised.

I was moving my woodchipper around on the soggy lawn and it seemed awfully hard to move. Then I noticed that one wheel had come off.

The wheels are held on by 5/8 " push caps -- mostly plastic I think, but they've worked fine for many years.

I started searching around and found a few for 6 bucks or so -- sometimes with 'free shipping', but I was hoping for better.

And I found it. This place called etrailer.com had metal caps for 6 bits ( $.75) with 3 buck shipping. I got 3 so that I would have 2 to lose before it happened again.

Got them in less than a week, and they seem pretty good.

Funniest deal was they sent the form emails, and one said that I should 'take a picture of my completed project for their website' -- maybe not this time.
