Wheel skates...
Ordered these auto dolly's from Merrick, makes it easy moving the T around the garage. I could have gone with the cheapo's from other sources but these are heavy duty and made in the U.S.A. It's also nice to get something with free shipping.

Re: Wheel skates...
I use them under rear wheels and find that the T steers sufficiently quickly to follow pretty much anywhere I want it to go. Since I don't move things sideways, and line up with rear ends against the wall, they work out well and I am not out the extra $$ to move 4 cars and it's less jacking. I leave the rear ends up for the winter and then roll them out in the spring.

Re: Wheel skates...
I have a set of the Harbor Freight gray ones. Don't care for them at all. I also have a pair of GoJaks, they are awesome. One of these days I need to get another pair

Re: Wheel skates...
Thanks Scott - I like those ! I have several sets - my oldest I purchased through Hemming's 30 years ago - made in the US but they're a tad wide but work excellent !

Re: Wheel skates...
I have a set of the same, love them. On this last rebuild they were indispensable. Word of warning; my shop floor is level but my driveway is at a slight angle. I pushed the T out into the drive to make room to build the frame for my hack and the angle was enough to send the T into my neighbors yard. Took two of us to get it back to the garage. Lesson learned.
Just give me time to Rust and I'll be good as new. Wabi-Sabi

Re: Wheel skates...
I have a set of theses. They are designed for you to drive on to them so you don't have to jack up the car to use them. Wish I could find another set! They don't make 'em like they used to
