Ulitimate farmers Welding cart.

admin

I ran to tractor supply yesterday to pick up a new pair of gloves before work on Monday. I was browsing the deal bin cause its a crime if you dont at tsc. Low and behold they had 4 off-road swivel casters on clearance for 11.99 when they're normally 49.99. Then the great idea came to me make a cart for my buzzbox so I can wheel it outside the shop. While I was on the drive home I thought "Damn I should picked up tires for my o/a cart. Then the bulb clicked to put both on there. So between the scrap from the man lift and flatbed its started. Im going to put a shelf for rods, tips, strikers, etc. Then hangers for the leads and hoses. I welded the rear swivel caster solid after it toppled over while testing it in the limerock sand mix behind the shop. Here it sits.

Reply:Looks like it will do what you need. I would add another chain or something to keep the bottles from kicking out on the bottom.

Reply:Great looking cart.   I like the way you improvised and was out very little cash.  That little jewel should last you a long time.
Reply:Originally Posted by swampwelder13I no it flipped over with all 4 swivels. So i welded the ones under the O/A solid.
Reply:Had some free time after I rolled out of bed this morning before we left to the beach house for the weekend. So I said what the hell ill finish something I started. So i welded a handle at the base and some pipe for the leads. Little bit of rustoleoum. And BAM shes done. Ready to be modified multiple times in the foreseeable future
