<title><![CDATA[Craftsman 16 gallon Wet-Dry Vacuum: How do I find replacement front casters for vacuum cart?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm trying to fix the front casters on a cart for a Craftsman 16 gallon wet/dry vacuum. The vacuum is model #113179930. Sears has a very helpful exploded view diagram for the product:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/11/3179930/0247/0646000.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" title="http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/11/3179930/0247/0646000.html">http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-nu...</a></p>

<p>The casters I need are #23, Parts #: 73237. However, it seems they're no longer available, at least from Sears:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part-number/73237/0009/113.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" title="http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part-number/73237/0009/113.html">http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part-num...</a></p>

<p>Sears no-so-helpfully suggests: &quot;The manufacturer no long makes this part, and there's no substitute part. If you choose to purchase a new product, please visit www.sears.com&quot;</p>

<p>The current casters I believe have a completely missing roller bearing and therefore no longer will stay upright:</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/JVMhiDYbpUgHWmIg.medium" width="592" height="444" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/JVMhiDYbpUgHWmIg.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1600,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>The casters slide into these attachments on the front of the vacuum cart:</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/3rsqCWEPKiTev1mI.medium" width="333" height="444" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/3rsqCWEPKiTev1mI.huge&quot;, '', 'width=901,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>Any advice to:</p>

<p>1) Find the exact replacement part</p>

<p>2) Find a suitable replacement I can install with the existing mounts</p>

<p>3) Come up with an entirely new wheel and mount system to pull wheels back on the front of the cart.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
