Hello,
I am refurbishing a 76 Fisher Grandma stove . The legs have a 3/8 rod welded to them and sit on rather flimsy feet . I am looking for better replacement feet for the stove. The stove sits on a brick hearth . Perhaps you have a solution for me?
Thanks for your time ,
Randy

Welcome to the Forum;
The rods are for height adjustment on a irregular surface such as brick. There is a set screw in the ball to adjust it up and down the rod. Someone removed the original solid chrome balls and installed the soft bottom (furniture / chair pad?) to prevent marring the surface it was set on.

These are new parts in a Honey Bear from my collection, not for sale. They do come up on eBay.

You can get square tubing with holes predrilled along the entire length like adjustable shelf legs, and cut a short piece off to set the rod into until you find better. To adjust the height, put a washer on the rod, to lenghthen that leg if it rocks on an uneven surface.
