Can you take the old caster to Home Depot or lowes and see if you can find a replacement caster
been buying A&E cages they are expensive but good wheels
and they are heavy duty and should never need replaced, maybe new powder coating every 10 years or so just to freshen em up.

Kings cages and A&E are made in New Jersey
Stainless Steel Kings cages are not make in NJ.
They are made in Europe (so they say) and have all metric hardware.
I bought the corner SS version model 509. Its the most un-serviceable cage I have ever owned. Almost impossible to assemble one person.
The main door is so small that I could not reach the back of the cage to place toys. I ended up hinging the entire front section to I could clean and access the interior of the thing properly. A lot of welding and other various modifications to make it usable.
Obviously the people designing the cage never had to actually use one.
The smaller cages they offer I cannot comment on because I only own the largest they offer in SS.
I will never buy another SS cage from them again.

i bought the cage from Kings cages directly.
I replaced the castors with some serious heavy duty ones since the originals were not strong enough and failed within months. The cage weighs in at just over 200 lbs.
This cage is home to my largest macaw. I needed something rated to house a hyacinth.
The problem is they more than likely all come from the same country now? Anyone in the market to make good quality bird cages? We all appreciate buying well made ones. I didnt do too bad with my Montana, still had to buy replacement casters and the inserts but it is good now, was worth doing. Irksome that you shell out and then have to source bits and pieces to improve what you have paid good money for.
