Re: Driving with tower

We've had problems in the past with Wedge Top too. The solution we used was to insert #10 screws through the tread and into the wheel. Make sure the screw heads do not penetrate the tread or tear a larger hole and you should be good.

Re: Driving with tower

Drill and rivet each end of the tread to those Plaction wheels and you will have zero problems.

We also throw a rivet in approximately 180* from where the tread meets, just in case one of the retaining groves in the wheel gets damaged.

Re: Driving with tower

Nice test drive! We use the screw method with thread brass inserts for the plaction wheels. Works great and makes for an easy switch-out. Description
