Sorry Guys, a couple of additional details that I left out in my original post: You will need two washers for the bolts (two for each caster). The bolt length was 1.25" I believe, not 1.5"

Correction: Company Name for the Casters is L.G. Rathbun (not Rathburn)

All, Good News - After being frustrated and angry about the substandard quality of the RT-700 casters (i have replaced them at least three times under warranty), I finally found a viable solution that works. Basically, I replaced the existing casters with casters of the same height, but much...

Thanks for the show of support. If not for these casters, I would have recommended it.

Yep, I actually hurt my back a while ago because I always lift the Rt-700 when turning it near any concrete cracks, just to avoid this problem with the wheels. I even try to keep the hopper less than half full to reduce the weight. None of this has helped in the long run. I tried to find...

All, Today I opened a warranty replacement request for my RT-700 Castoring wheels FOR THE THIRD TIME in a year. These wheels are awful and should be recalled and replaced with wheels of adequate quality so they don't fail over and over. I am guessing, based on the two warranty claims for the...

I would not. Recteq RT-700 caster wheels are of poor quality. I’ve had mine for about 7 months and have had to replace both twice already. Recteq really should provide a solution for this obvious problem - but all they do is send you the same replacements. The bearings fall out of them...

Understood. Thanks all for your feedback and assistance. I contacted Reqteq support and the bottom line is, their solution is to replace my substandard quality Reqtec casters with two more substandard quality Reqtec casters. Although they were apologetic and promptly sent out the...

Well Guys, these aren't the right size either. So please don't order them. So the 1/2' threaded stems were too wide, and the 3/8" stems are too narrow. I think I have no other choice than to try to find a local supplier where I can actually bring the bad casters in and actually make sure they...

I had to re-order the casters since the first set had 1/2" stems instead of the 3/8" stems. So the new ones I ordered aren't as heavy duty as the first set I ordered. The good news is, they were significantly cheaper. I will post an update once they arrive and I know how well they hold up...

Correction to my earlier post. The width of the steps on the casters is 3/8", not 1/2". I didn't realize this until I received the new ones and attempted to put them on. Measuring mistake on my part.

Most likely others on this forum are aware of this, but after having replaced one of the wheels on my RT-700 because it was "bent", I realized the other day I am seeing a similar situation with the new replacement wheel. Then I remembered finding some strange small BB like looking balls on my...

GBR = Go Big Red (for Husker Fans - I assumed based on your name you were one)

Thanks - Everything works fine with the app, the only exception is the notifications. Iphone - Version is 7.0 , Software version is 15.6.1 I have a dual band Bull I do indeed have a dual band wireless in my home, with the same name except one is 5ghz and has "-5G" as a suffix. I am running a...

I have searched the forum and it seems people are aware the app notifications on the phone are either not working, or only work intermittently (is this correct?) Personally, I have been setting the app to notify me (iphone) when the probe temps are reached - but have not received any kind of...
