Hey G have a tip. Cut the inside out of the old tubes and make a tube boot. It will limit the impact of rust on the tube and lessen the likelihood of your tube being pinched by the rim. I have a car that still uses tubes and would not install a new tube without a boot. Great video series.
Nice little video trio G! I found the same price issue on the tires and tube. Those carts are handier than shirt pockets. Picked one up from Tractor Supply for our new place and given it a Good Workout, everything from 100's of lbs of brick and concrete to about 6 bushels of leaves and debris in a tarp to hauling the grand kids to the P.O. and getting Ice cream at the store plus they have a blast with it here. Only issue is big blackberry thorns play havoc on the tubes...so far I've only had to patch one. Sorry to hear about your loss, always difficult and takes a while to get through...Condolences. Best to You and your family!
Thanks PJ! I agree- handy for sure. I've towed the daughter around plenty as well. Yeah, it happened out of the blue. In some way, I believe it's better that way. Much better than witnessing a downward spiral. A blessing in disguise so to speak, in my opinion- though still hard. Thanks for the sentiments. Take care, G.
I have replaced the tires on my 2 wheel dump cart with old lawn tractor tires and plan to rebuild my 4 wheel wagon, a bit smaller than yours, to use them too. That along with a pivoting front axle. I pull both wagons with lawn tractors so maybe I am a bit harder on them. Good update and good to see you again.
Love my wagons. Have one from harbor frieght that is the oldest, and like yours, for the last couple years it has mostly lived outside, and is holding up really well. Pretty impressed with it. The other one I bought from rural king and is a bit larger, and have not used it nearly as much. Mainly so far use it to keep tools on so I can haul them to where I'm working, so it has been inside mainly. It is a bit larger and has the sides on it. I think I like the HF one a little better as it is a little smaller and easier to navigate around with, and I think it may be a bit better build too.
That's cool. This is one of those things that makes you wonder how you made it so far without one. I've been without it for about a month and could of used it tons. Take care, G.
I hear the wheels and tires are complete garbage on these things. I'm converting mine into a dually setup and will store it on jack stands when not using it. That should give these garbage tires a fighting chance.
Mark, The tires on mine lasted 5yrs while being out in the sun. I have a video of what I did to replace them, so check it out if you're interested. I will say, the key is to keep them out of the sunlight. The UV rays will attack them. Take care, G.
Excellent how to video and smart to add a follow up years later. Thank you!
Thanks Steve! Take care, G.

Good tip man! I'll have to remember that on the next round. I'm pretty quick to get rid of garbage, so it's a no go this time...lol. Take care, G.
@@ghostses it's all good.
Good deal! G.

That's cool Dan! This cart has served us well and still is. Sound like you have good solutions to your problems! Good to hear from you. Take care, G.

Ghostses, Looks like it held up well for your purposes. Another 10 years of hauling.
It really has Mac. I don't abuse it, but it's done literally tons of work for me. They're super handy. Take care, G>
G we've had one of those for almost 20 years now and I can attest that they hold up well.
That's cool Hank! I've been pleased with mine. Take care, G.
