The tires were not what I was thinking about. I was actually just thinking about the hubs coming complete with bearings and brakes.  And being cheap and readily availale from a wrecking yard.

I used mobile home tires and wheels, they come with a 12VDC brake!, they are 27 to 30" in diameter so also allow for a deeper cut into the log, Ie; more space between the blade and the crossbar, and are load rated for extreem load, and have a 70 PSI inflation pressure.
Been doing so much with so little for so long I can now do anything with nothing, except help from y'all!
By the way rbarshaw is short for Robert Barshaw.
My Second Mill Is Shopbuilt 64HP,37" wheels, still a work in progress.

Donut tires are also rated for a "ONE" time use of 50 miles or less and not to be used a 2nd time. ;)   They have very little reinforcing in them and a ton of rubber so they wont go flat on you when never checked for years and years.   Also most tire shops won't spin balance them for you, don't comply with OSHA rules. ;)   They may work fine but they may also explode on you a year down the road. :-/

samdland,

Mill looks great.
You have more down pressure on the guides than I have seen before. Is there a reason? It may shorten your blade life is my only concern.

Oh, is that your toes showin? You must be luckier than I am.

Either that or he's stood a little too close to somethin  ;D :D :D
All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

No real reason for the low blade guides. I just built it that way. Ya think I should move em up?

And yes those are my toes. I built the mill in those sandles. I run it in them also.
