Thats all I am doing is welding legs ( 4-2ft peices of 2-3/8 fence post leftovers)to the frame and putting wheels on the legs to roll around my shop.The channel wil be there to center the forks, will take 5 minutes to add, and strengthen the frame section as well. As far as the forks on the tractor, they are there, and I would love to see someone roll a setup across my yard. Not that easy, would have to put four wheeler wheels and tires just to make it roll,lol. Besides, with the tractor, I can have it in and out in minutes, and not even break a sweat. Saves more time to work on the body instead of moving it... I am lazy too, thats why I want to let the tractor do the work ;D
LOL, Well Heck that Makes Sense....  Why didn't ya just come out and say that in the first place, and what's up with not using 4Wheeler wheels, you trying to say you wouldn't want to take it Muddin' ;D

Ok, so I forgot to mention I'm a bit slow too! Lack of Oxygen from being on stilts all day will do that to ya!!:P ::)

ok cool i would like to see a pic
i put my cab on a frame that i got from the john deere dealer they use them for shipping, i'll try to get a pic.

 Heres one like I used(I lent mine out)It comes apart.As you can see in the pic the bars that hold up the top are not welded everything else is.Mine has wheels welded to the bottom half and the uprights are bolted to the top and bottom.

 I have a total of 10 bucks in this, the price of the wheels at a yardsale. The frame I got give to me.

I dont see why that wouldnt work well. As far as the casters, the 10" ones would probably roll better on the dirt that the others because they are wider, but a flat on one would be a pain. I have seen that size tire at harbor freight that is solid. Id hate to throw away new tires, but would hate to have to air up a tire every time I wanted to work on my cab. Its all a matter of preference.

yea i like the 10" ones but i agree with you on the flat tires and my dolly is not light plus the cabs weight that could happen so i might get some solid ones
