Each of a pair of hubs is rotatably coupled to one of a pair of free ends of the front axle. A plurality of arms is attached to and radially extends outwardly from each of the hubs. The arms on each of the hubs are positioned equidistant from each other. Each of a plurality of rods is attached to one of the arms such that each of the rods is orientated substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of an associated one of the arms and parallel to a longitudinal axis of the front axle. At least one of a plurality of front wheels is rotatably coupled to each one of the rods.
