Just kidding. It's an A trim from an 800 c.i.d. Cummins motor out of a P&H motor crane.

It's just a tad bigger than the 80 on the Buick.

Magazine page is 8"x11" so that has to be something around a 6" diameter wheel.

Running a little emery cloth around the edges should allow it to slip right in.......

I'm actually going to make it into a filler for my hitch reciever. 2" square tubing with a bolt and bearing sleve.

I was actually thinking earlier you could do just that - it'd make a pretty cool cover/filler for the hitch. Funny that we had the same idea for it.

JT -

Great minds think about saving peso's.

One of the guys in our shop built one out of the stator from a rebuildable torque converter. He put that set up on rollers and when he's in forward motion he said he can feel the vibration from it spinning. That thing weighedin at 14 lbs. compared to my measly 1/2 lbs. Mine probably won't spin much.
