My whirly wheels
«

Hi folks.
Been really busy on block paving over the last 3 -4 weeks and despite keeping my gear pretty well looked after, greasing, and cleaning etc 2 of the castors / wheels on my whirlaway are knackered.
I dont know why but the bearings are just locked solid. In desperation tried washing them all out with petrol then regreasing them up but they are still shot. A right pain in the neck when trying to get a drive done when the whirly bopper is acting like a shopping trolly.
Anyone recommend a good supplier of new wheels / castors?
Thanks in advance peeps

try dual pumps.co.uk or slater technical services in atherton near bolton, just google it, i know they sell whirlaways, or just google whirlaway but under uk, this will give suppliers who should be able to get hold of castors quickly, maybe you could order some spares from merril fox too when you have your new ones from the uk.

Don't bother to grease them as the grease grabs the sand, just wash them out when you clear up

Dual pumps do a modified better quality castor. it has no grease nipple and is better than the origonal
As mentioned an agent of dual pumps will also have or be able to get em, like Slaters
I have a set of the origonals with nipples if you wana buy em, depends where you are I suppose

Thanks for the replies chaps, ( sorry for delay in getting back on here)
I think I'll order the nipple free ones. Thanks for the offer drivewasher but I think I'll get on to dual pumps.
Thanks again for the replies.

Hi guys,
Been on the dual pumps web site and cant locate the wheels mentioned in the above post.
Or will they just be in the catalogue.
