Jeff -
I routinely fine-tune the position of my TM on the concrete garage floor, using the OEM tongue wheel. I push and pull on the TM's jack stem, which seems to work well. Does this not work for you?
The Harbor Freight dolly is their item #69898, I think. I have one for jockeying my boat trailer around. It is rated to handle 600 lbs, and even though that is a bit optimistic, it should be adequate for the tongue of a TM on a smooth level surface. You will want to exchage the 1 7/8 inch hitch ball for a 2 inch ball. As ThePair noted, the tires always seem to be flat when you go to use the dolly, and that is frustrating, but it is easily prevented by buying a couple properly-sized inner tubes and installing them. Cheap and easy to do.
