Today I put Harbor Freight solid wheels on the cart. Much, much better than the old ones. I hate to throw them out, but they seem worthless. Maybe the tubes would be fun pool toys.
I had to make steel spacers because the new wheels were not offset as much as the old ones. Worked out fine. The new wheels say they only hold 220 pounds apiece. Guess I'll have to avoid putting more than 440 pounds of stuff on it!
FYI, Harbor Freight sells a better-looking cart, and they display them about 10 feet from the wheels. It costs $45 before a coupon, so it's around $18 cheaper than my Home Depot cart.

I used propane today. I ran it through an acetylene heating tip and bent 1/2" steel. Now I can weld gussets onto the mounting tabs on my middle buster, and hopefully, the tabs won't bend the next time I tear out a stump or a boulder.
