Boggie Wheel New Tread Order
« on: December 03, 2017, 07:44:23 PM »
How many of you guys have boggie wheels you would like retreaded?  Ive been in contact with a gentleman who has a place where he get his done and is willing to put together an order for those interested.  The place actually uses black urethane and cuts them down to size, they also put a guarantee for there workmanship on them! So they should last forever and they look great! PM me if interested.

I'm interested but same as other responses.   Can you give a location for estimated shipping and of course it would depend on per part cost.  I could do as many as 24 depending on cost.

Also would like to know prep work required.  Do old wheels need rubber removed, sandblasted etc.

Thanks,
Brad

Cost will vary but it was last around $110 per wheel.  They would go to St. Louis MO. If interested, Ill forward you the guy who is doing it.  The more we get, the better deal we will receive for quantity.  From what I understand, no prep work needed.  They blast them before they get coated.

I would get in on the order if it gets the price down. I would do 36 if you could get it to 75.00-100.00
Let me know,

Mike

I just got back from being gone for the past 6 months.  Good to be working on the track again! I had put it out there about getting the boggie wheels done and I am planning on shipping mine next week to get retreaded.  We get a nice group rate if everyone can come together and send their wheels in to get done.  Who else can get theirs done?

One thing about getting the treads done.  The company may tell me it will take them 3 months to do the work, but it will more likely be 3 weeks.  The last run of wheels that I did, one of the clients did not pay me for a couple of months and that was sitting on my credit card for time.  So I am asking for half at the start of the project and the rest when they are complete.
