In this video Its another odd job that has come through the door at Darkmoon Metals. Shortening a trailer jack after a caster was added to it. Just using some common processes along with a little lathe work to get the job done.

Why didn't you cut other end of screw off so wouldn't have to use latch

Also, for the anti-rotation fix...after drilling ur 2 holes take a cold chisel or heavy duty flat tip and wack the metal between the two holes so that it becomes concave and there is ur anti-rotation device 😄

Should have cut off the other end and tack weld, JB Weld or bugger up the threads at the tip. Nice use of the lathe, for those who don't have a lathe, just cut the other end....

Good video, but does the caster wheel rotate on its own?

Yes sir, it is a swivel caster. :)

Why couldn't you just cut off the screw from the bottom instead of doing the lathe work?

I considered that at first, the bottom of the screw was machined to act as a stop. The stop was a little thicker and made sure that the wheel portion did not fall off the screw. I figured if I had to replicate and end I would shoot for the one where I had to remove material rather than add to it. I could have welded more material on but I had no real good way to clean the grease off of it to ensure a good weld.
