That looks great. I have two treadmill motors I'm trying to do the same thing with. I want to bring one with me to this mountain stream my family goes camping at. What does the base of the wheel look like? I only see one board coming up to the motor?

Hi,

I made two L shaped brackets out of hardwood with a 45 degree insert to firm everything up. The whole lot is bolted together with M10 bolts.

Marine ply on the base and this is bolted down to bedrock.

Pete.
