[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 3625531, member: 41777"] hunter966, it's a 15" culvert pipe. I don't remember exact sizes but will keep it consistent. My ATV is 48" wide overall so I cut the culvert pipe at 40" but the axle is 48" overall. 4" on either side allows for 2 pillow top bearing to mount to the axle and frame(see pic). What I did was cut out a cardboard circle that fit snug into one end. Cut out a 1 1/2" diameter hole for the axle. I traced that onto some 1/2" plywood and cut it to fit. Once fit, I cut another for the other end. Since I ended up with about 3 1/2" of axle outside of each end, it fit nicely on some 4x4's when stood on it's end. Put the plywood in one end, stood it up, put in the axle then started adding concrete all the while moving the axle back so it stayed centered. I filled it with 400 lbs of quikrete and tamped it after each 100#. Put the other plywood cutout on once full and let it dry. Ended up being about 440 lbs total.
