Threaded rod can be bought normally in 6’ lengths. Home improvement stores (Home Depot, TSC, Loews) sells it in 3’ lengths. Try more indrustral type stores if you want longer then 3’.
My plan to upgrade the wheels on our tractor this summer will include a piece of 1/2” rod inside a piece of 1/2” emt (electrical conduit) the rod should stick past the emt about 2 or 3”. I’ll use a 1/2” wing nut/large washer to hold the wheels on when in use. The wheels I’m using are from the front of a old garden tractor and fit perfectly over the EMT. The emt will stick through the entire tractor and out the other side. The length should keep things stable and sturdy over years of use on rough ground.... this is of corse all Theraredical I have not tested this.
