A good temporary “fix” to protect your floor and treadle stand both, is to measure the diameter of one of the remaining casters and a remaining pin, and go to the hardware store where they sell fender washers and small stove bolts. Buy as many washers as will fit comfortably into the space where the missing casters go, and pin them in with a stove bolt and nut.
If you paint the fender washers and stove bolts a color similar to the treadle stand color prior to installation (cover the shine of the new materials), they will hardly be noticeable while you continue searching for more original replacements, and could even become permanent replacements if need be.
