Bought me a new generator and found out real fast that 115lbs is a bit heavy to move around. There was an optional wheel kit I could have bought for $45 butfigured the plastic wheels would last all of one week maybe. Dug out somescrap angle iron and square tubing and I have a cart that will last to eternity.I mounted the big wheels just off the center of balance to make it easier to liftand pull the cart but then got to thinking it might be real easy for it to tip overbackwards so I welded a smaller swivel wheel at the rear as a wheelie wheel to prevent this. I found out that this makes it tremrndously easier to move it around by tipping it backwards until the wheelie wheel makes contact with the ground and it rolls around on tricycle wheels now.
Reply:Nice idea. I like the cord storage.

Reply:Nice build. Bigger wheels makes moving on rougher terrain (to get the exhaust away form the house) easier.
Reply:Nice, I need to do something like that but I also need to be able to get it off of the cart when I load it into the bed of the truck when we go camping.
Reply:That's a crisp work.
Reply:How good does it steer? The angle of the third wheel is wrong. It should be 90° to the ground when touching, otherwise it will flop around and bind.I hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys |
