Grand Caster Replacement

[Kent Swafford]

from Jon Page:

Grand truck with special applications for the 'ball' leg-ends to sit  
upon, jpg attached

The top of the conical support is the diameter of the old caster  
mounting surface.
The bottom flares for added support. It is bolted to the truck arm.
The leg is supported at the same location as when a caster was  
installed.
I didn't want the thin-walled leg end to sit on the truck taking the  
weight of the piano.

The cone serves two purposes: support the leg and secures the  
position on truck arm.
This piano is frequently pushed up a ramp onto a staging area with no  
problems.

Something similar can be done with square legs which are to large for  
the retention plate.
