Here’s how she stands currently. Since applying bedliner to the top, I added two more of the Harbor Freight magnet strips to the sides, mounted two sets of the corner guards (trimmed to fit around the lower bolts), flipped the trim pieces over so the black sides face out, and also added a magnet to the back which holds the lid when I flip it over to use it as an open-till cart.
I also installed two more swivel casters, but not the blue-wheeled ones that everyone gets from Harbor Freight. If you pull up the available replacement parts for this cart, you can order the locking swivel casters that come with the cart via telephone directly from Harbor Freight for $15.08 each, with free shipping (I found out on the phone that any replacement parts ordered from Harbor Freight ship for free). These are better casters than the ones everyone buys in store, for less money ($15.08 vs $16.99).
Thanks javyLSU for the post/idea of the spare parts.
I've had the 5 draw cart for about a year, and in the tight spot I need to part the cart, it's a PIA with only 2 swivel wheels.
Ordering saves me a trip a few towns over to HF.
Not in a rush, and free shipping!
It seems from you post/pix, it's the same wheel I have on mine.
Great thread in general, been picking through this thread and others. These carts really picked up a following for good reasons IMHO.
I'm not a huge fan of HF in general, but for certain items. One's Gotta know what your buying from HF, and all is good.
There hasn't been a US General box I didn't like. These boxes are a great bang for the buck.
I have a bunch of very old Craftsman boxes (even 1 new topper box), and a more than a few of the larger Husky boxes.
I really like the US General series of boxes for the money.
I use the 5 draw cart for all the most common task stuff. It sits right inside the garage door. Oil change tools, brake tools, funnel and such, note pads, windshield "colorforms" (oil change/inspection dates - so the family remebers what's due when, with their ride), one draw as just the sockets needed for lug nuts of what the family drives and the correct corresponding torque limiter extension. All the super common items commonly used and needed at reach.
I have a 1 draw Husky box I use out in the driveway during the project. It collects the tools in use during the project (all get returned to the big boxes when done). The bottom of the Husky are my wheel chucks and parts bins to capture the fastners as they get removed. My single garage is too small to get my trucks/jeeps into. I've been a shadetree wrench turner for about 45years.
enough of the intro...
FYI On to the wheels.... (my reason for my first post)
As with most HF stuff, tons of PN and SKU for practically the same item.
With my cart, on the label, it has a PN of 64030, and a SKU ending in 639.
The HF available replacement parts list shows that my SKU ending in 639 is s/b a PN 64033. (see below)
It has a PN for the locking caster wheel of 19140 / $5.94 ea
If I go by my PN 64030 , the HF available replacement parts list shows that a 64030 SKU should end in 305.
It has a PN for the locking caster wheel of 19068 / $15.08 ea
I called HF to order, they are saying that the 19068 is the one for my box, 64030. ($15.08 ea. as javyLSU denotes)
I Ordered 4 in case they are different enough, at worse, I'll use the two I took off or have left over for another cart.
