We'll go looking again, hopefully we can find something to meet our needs, then we can release the wheels to the carrier owner, who is in the UK.

You´re a sport! Alternatively, you could ask the UK carrier owner to find you some carrier wheels with perished/damaged rubber, those are more plentiful than ones with good rubber you seem to have. Good luck, Hanno

We have found a suitable trolley with 'almost' the same sort of wheels, so have released the 4 carrier wheels to the UK carrier operator.
Happy to have found a worthy home for them, will shout if any more cross our path! Peter

I think the big issue with his own wheels was that the rims themselves were badly corroded, possibly through standing in water, so not much use at all, although they could be used as the basis for some new castings, as a pattern perhaps. Regards, Peter

Hi, Many thanks for the wheels and delivering them. on closer inspection I believe these wheels are Windsor Carrier wheels, slightly wider rims and rubber, I think they would fit the universal carrier if the rims were machined down, Can any one confirm if the bearing assembly is the same?.
If anyone needs some Windsor wheels to trade for universal wheels please let me know. I think they would be O.K. for spare wheels to mount on the carrier, but I dont want to machine them is sombody is looking for a set of four Windsor wheels. They all need re-rubbering. Thanks Kevin. ![]()

Hi Kevin:
Glad they got to you OK, I didn't know that Philip (our youngest son) was going to Suffolk tonight, my wife mentioned it to me while I was talking to you on the phone. Worked out really well for us all. I'll keep an eye open for anything similar in future! ![]() Peter

We have got another set of these wheels, this time from an ebay seller down near Bristol, the auction was pointed out to me by one of the guys on our own forum.
They are British, cast 'JM 1941' and the tyres are "Avon 1944", bearings are Ransome & Marles 4HJT40. Tyres are better than the ones Kevin had from us, but the bearings are so much scrap. One wheel must be an idler as it has bronze bearings instead of thrust ball bearings. We intend to use these, but can offer the seal retainers and bearing spacers for free to anyone who wants them, collect or pay carriage. The bronze bearings have got four tapped holes in the face, are these for an extractor or do you screw setscrews in them and push the bearings out? Also, on another thread, the bearing 6204 is mentioned for carrier wheels, but these are tiddly compared with these that I have here, is that a mistake? is there a modern compatible bearing?
