    5 inch fridge? WOW! I'll even say it backwards. WOW!! Just for reference, " is inches and ' is feet. But, thank you for the post, as it allowed me to clarify that. It is a common mistake and needs to be addressed. If the stuff is gone, then scrap is all you can do with it.

    Big smiles!

    Check the outside with a magnet. Some time the outside is polished steel not stainless. It may only be stainless on in side of cooler. The stainless is a pain and my not be worth your time. Good luck!

    Refrigerator wheels/castors = Instant Flat cart dolly

    The factory wheel/casters were mounted into a rectangular frame. The frame is bolted to the bottom of the refrigerator. I unbolted the frame that has the casters and all. (6 bolts)
    Im going to cover it with plywood.. Instant flat cart dolly. That should be good to move most appliances. Fridge weighed about 650lbs. Wheels are nice. They have locks. So when its on the back of my truck. It wont roll around.
