That's very kind of you Nick, trouble is that the iron wheels (the one I really want) are quite large - the larger pair being almost the size of thresher wheels and so the Blackstone ones (if iron) would be too small.

My elevator is on a set of pneumatics as it is (so it is mobile at least), but they are off an old muck-spreader or some-such and it looks silly, so I am really after a set of four as fitted to smaller Ransomes/Foster threshing machines as these are the correct size and style (not sure who made them - they seem to be common to a few commercial/agricultural vehicles of the period).

Good tip to look to the hop industry though, thanks.
