Coaching grade school track, I have to carry around several starting blocks. Last year, to store for the next season, I made a rude carrier from 3/4 plywood that held 5 blocks, stacked on top of each other. I put wheels on the back of the cart, using shoulder bolts, which the kind man at Home Depot helped me select. I drilled through the ends of the bolts and locked the nut on with a cotter pin, feeling clever.
In use, one of the wheels locks up, as the rotation tightens the nut on the bolt. My first fix thought is to not use a nut, take up the space with washers and let the cotter pin hold the wheel on the cart. That seems like a lot of pressure for the cotter pin.
What am I missing?
Thanks
