JoeJr, you may already know that the hub width on spoked wheels comes in two different sizes ( see above) Swithing to a 1" ( I think) hub, may be an easier way to solve the problem. Is there a boss on your machine?
I figured out from this machine that there are different hub sizes! The shaft for the wheel on this is 1 5/16". When I tried a wheel with the smaller hub there was, of course, too much shaft remaining.
I tapped a hole for mounting something, likely a motor; you can see the bolt sticking out the side. A neighbor told me about wedge washers, which I'd never heard of; if I can find one the right size I will use it as a spacer between the pillar and a motor mount, but I haven't been into the hardware store yet to see if they have them.
