Wheel kit for General Pump Surface Cleaner

Question

I have a General Pump Surface cleaner. Does anyone know if there is a wheel kit available for it and if so does it make it better? I use it for residential drives sidewalks etc.

If it is a hammerhead, I dont think there is a wheel kit. You could do your own kit, just make sure that the wheels are in the locations that you need them, to be out of the way.

I did mine on a Whirl Away many years ago. The ones that come from the factory were junk, rusted apart after a year or two. Finding the right wheels was a bit of a pain, something that will not rust, but it's been fine since that.

Thanks for the link. How do you like the wheels. Does it work better? What is involved in the installation?

Install is easy,comes with all you need in the kit.It made the surface cleaner easyer to use an move around.

I run 16' eagle washes with 8gpm. Wheel/casters on a surface cleaner will make you lose your mind. They drop over the egde of sidewalks, drag in the cracks, can't tilt it to clean along a wall, make them way to heavy to carry up and down stairs in breezeways, can't run them along steps. I have had two 36' steel eagles sitting in the shop for years now because I thought they would be money makers. Guess it depends on what you use your surface cleaner for.
