    I’m trying to grab a couple new rollers for my small trailer. They are flat rollers, 2″ diameter on the ends, 1.5″ through the middle. I’ve been to Fleet Farm and Gander and found only rollers that were more like 3″ diameter. A roller that large won’t roll on my brackets, it gets squished into place.

    Anybody know a good source for these in the twin cities area?

    To help those looking, what width and what size thru-hole for the bolt?

    Fleet Farm and Northern Tool carry the best selection. But “best” meaning better than Cabelas and Gander, but still not great.

    West Marine is also an option, but I haven’t paid that much attention to what’s actually in stock there. I’ve ordered from West before, but not bought rollers from the store. Good selection online.

    Good call HRG.

    4″ width
    Thru-hole 3/8″
    2″ roller diameter at the “barbell” ends
    1.5″ roller diameter in the midsection

    How about Overtons in Rogers?

    They don’t make that size anymore. They were deemed a public hazard. devil
    Have you looked into Northern Hydrolics ,whatever they call themselves now.

    Still no luck. Overton’s website has a few 4-inchers but nothing this small. I’m going to search over the winter but will probably have to end up buying a whole new bracket/roller combo.

    Am I missing an inside joke, or how does a piece of rubber on a boat trailer become a public hazard? Not familiar with Northern Hydraulic but I’ve checked Northern Tool with no dice.

    Did you call any stores? Online searches can not turn up everything. I’d call and ask, give CS a chance to go beyond the call of duty and find one.

    Have you tried Hannay’s Marine? https://www.hannaysmarine.com/accessories

    I will give Hannay’s a call, thanks for the idea David. They’re close enough to drive over on a lunch hour.

    I’ve been into 2 FF’s and a Gander, and placed calls to Overton’s and West Marine, all pretty much had the same stuff. Smaller shops are probably my best shot, so I’ll call around. Starting with Hannay’s. No, I won’t be calling Supreme Marine. chased

    Really hoping to not need a whole new bracket/roller combo.

    Worse comes to worse I feel like I could order one of these and cut it down to 4″ wide, as these are only 2″ diameter.
