I posted on here 2 months ago about pulling an elevator over 300 miles with cage roller bearings in the wheels. I had replies of it would be fine to they would not pull it 10 miles. I had extra cage bearings and tires but while working on my square baler the other day decided to do something different. I had a welding shop cut about 4 inches off my axles and add a flat plate with gussets so that I could bolt stub axles off a 24t Deere baler on them. I had two extra stub axles that I replaced the bearings in and took one off my baler for a spare. Local tire shop sold me two new trailer tires for less money than implement tires. We went to Mankato MN yesterday and changed the axles out.The elevator has always been shedded so removal was easy. Installed my axles,remover the corn drag and strapped it to the main part of the elevator(was afraid with it sticking strait up something might break if it bounced while towing). Spent the night and hooked up at 8:15 this morning. Added a safety chain and headed for home. We traveled strait south to RT 9 in Iowa and followed that to 76 which put us on 18 and across the river to WI and home. Arrived home at 3:15 and drove 287 miles. It pulled nice at about 50 mph. Saw some beautiful countryside and had great weather. Tom
