Looking for two wheelsets on axles with pillowblock bearings, about 24" diameter, capable of supporting 5- tons each, standard gage. Condemnable is just fine.

Thanks for checking out your junk piles.

Dave

I think we scrapped everything that was not already on a push car but I will look around the A&R and see if we have any in the weeds. Do I have a couple of days to look? Things are really busy now.

Thanks John, I'd be very grateful if there's anything like that out there. A couple weeks is not a problem right now.

Dave,

I am sorry to report we have scrapped the last few 24 inch wheels on the A&R. Perhaps you could try contacting Newman Machinery in Arizona. In the past Dudley sometimes had items such as this around his yard. If you need me to I can try to find contact info for you.

Thanks John, I got a call into him already. He's tied up at a track equipment show right now.
