Thanks for the details. I will be sticking with 6" wheels, so that would mean taking an even amount off all 3 legs for me. That should also mean not needing to drill a new hole in the front leg. I just need to ask...did you end up with plenty of room to remove and replace the ash can with ease? or do you wish you had taken just a little less off the legs? Also, since I'm using the 6 inch wheels (and going dual), the 6 inch wheels are 1.5" wide, whereas the 8 inch wheels are 1.75" wide, if I am not mistaken. Therefore, it looks like I would need to take off about 1.25" off each side of the axle instead to make up that difference in width. Please let me know your thoughts.
