Hey guys,
I've still got a stack of old 14" 20-spoke wheels and thinking about making a hose reel outa one of them, I kid you not
But since I want it to turn so that can easily spin it to wrap up the garden hose, I think I'll need a front hub
Not sure how I'm gonna mount it or anything, guess just entertaining ideas at this point
But if anybody has one kicking around, the bearings can even be shot for the most part I guess, I'd like to hear from you
Maybe I need a pick, or should look on realoem so that I can figure out how I'm gonna mount it, or if this will work at all
TIA

Whatcha need is a trashed strut. Than you can cut it where needed and weld it/get it welded to a plate you can bolt to a wall . Bobbo, where is all that engineering talent??

I'm trying to retire Bert
Fair point though, let's see what shakes out, based on your reply
Maybe I should ping good ole boy Ralph
