adding wheel option to Jet Sled

[walleyeken]

I have an extra set of wheels that I would like to add to my jet sled for hand pulling over dry ground and I am thinking that I would like to drill holes in the side and pass the axle through it and be able to take them off with ease.  What I am worried about is weakening the sled at the hole and creating a crack.  Any ideas on how to reinforce the area around the hole?

Steel plate with a hole through it, could even have bearings.  or you should be able to find some bushings that would work.

You could buy a cheap plastic welder and attach washers the size of your holes and cover with plastic weld.

Thanks.  How would you attach the steel plate to the plastic sled?

Double them, 1 inner & 1 outer.
Through drill both plates & 4 rivets should do it. I would JB weld the plates to the sled also & a good quality nylon bushing for the axle bearing.

Thanks.  I was thinking about something like JB Weld too.

i have thought about making a wheel barrow type rig for under the sled.  just bungie it on the frame.
