No, not really jumping into a dumpster, what I found on my morning walk. A neighbor down the street had put next to the curb for the trash pickup a perfectly good duel wheeled wheel barrel . the only thing wrong was the handles were rotten. I grabbed this treasure and headed home. the tires are 4.80/400.8 and only one was flat. The wheels were in great shape and the paint was excellent. I took the wheels off the axel and popped the bearings out, and they cleaned up nicely. My plan is to construct a small two wheeled cart to pull behind my tractors when at tractor/engine shows. Should be a fun project and I get to utilize my new welder.

Finished the base of the cart. Its going to be a simple little flat bed. Going to do some painting and let that dry before adding the axel and tongue. With the scrap parts the total so far is under $25.00.
