    Awesome job on that. If the rest of the wheelbarrow looked anything like the "good" handle I can't believe how well you brought that thing back! Loved 4:23...nothing a little hammering can't fix :-)

      Thanks Stan! When my dad dropped the wheel barrow off and said "here's a free wheel barrow" I didn't even know where to begin as I wasn't sure what it was! I really wish I had before photos/videos, but it was before I started the instagram/youtube thing. Thanks for watching! 🔨🔨👍🍻

    It's a good idea to bounce the wheel a few times after partly inflating the innertube, to evenly "disperse" the tube around the rim inside the tire, so that it evenly fills with air and supports the tire all around. Then inflate the tube the rest of the way, and reattach it to the wheelbarrow.

    Great demo. I ordered the same looking tire and tube set from Amazon and when it gets here I will be playing your video to assist me in the process.

      Good luck! One commenter suggested using a closed end wrench to help set the bead of the tire, I think it's a good idea if you have one available. 👍

    thank you! yes, soap trick was the clincher! to get the last part i kneeled on it- using my knees to slide the last part smaller and smaller. big hand saver! i have been avoiding it all winter because last try hurt my hands too much. but the soap did the trick! thanks so much. now can get 6 yards of soil tomorrow :)

    Thanks Grant. Followed along until the last step, couldn't muscle it on. Got on easily by standing on both sides of the tire, popped right on.

    Can I offer a tip that is once the wheel is off, sandpaper the rust off and either paint it or put gorilla tape round it
    to prevent the rust puncturing the tube. this is my experience of punctures.
    Thanks for posting and keep up the good work.

    A wooden wheelbarrow. Never seen one if those. Don't use a screwdriver indeed 🤣. Press the tire by hand. At work we fix these daily. When all goes well it is a 4 minute job 👌. Great video again buddy 🍻
