2 foot diameter ,,,,,,,,,there was some other very nice wheels on the machine it came off ,, but sadly they did not survive the 20 foot fall from the scrap pile ... still they wont be waisted as i picked all the bits up for the pot  :med:

You best be adding a bit of rope to your arsenal of tools. That way you won't have to melt them down to get them back to one piece. Nice find.  :lol: :lol: :lol: :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:

Nice find Rob, I haven`t made too many visits lately and never come out with anything exciting!!  Why are you building a new furnace? -bigger and better or has the old one packed in?
