Jack, I did that once many years ago. I ran across a Merry-go-round that had been removed from a park. After I removed all the superstructure and hand rails, I reinforced it with some channel and set it into a 16" deep pit. the top 6" of the pit had a steel curb to prevent chipping.The whole thing rotated on 12 8" rubber tired wheels. I was able to turn a 1 ton pick-up around with very little effort. Later I added a small gear reduction motor for my wife to use. I wired the turntable motor to a garage door opener remote so it was a pretty cushy deal. RDT
