  1. How to fix this wheelbarrow:

    1. New tire for $10.00 at Harbor Freight (check your exact size)
    2. New wheelbarrow grips for $12 or so. (I was cheap, and replaced mine with old bicycle tires).

  2. First time this wheelbarrow has been used in at least a decade, lol. Not sure if the dog is attacking me because using tools is verboten, OR because he peed on the wheelbarrow and it was marking a corner of the yard, and I am moving his territorial marker. (Either is a possibility) #wheelbarrow #repair

  3. Almost done! Went rummaging around a bucket of bolts and found two that would work. Now I just need to hacksaw off the too long bolts and give it another layer of linseed oil. I opted for just whatever bolts I had here with large washers instead of carriage bolts. #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #repair #diy #wheelbarrow

  4. Also done earlier, the wheelbarrow wedges I ordered did not match the old wedge. Just went and cut new ones on the table saw. But now, wonder if that wedge was also jury rigged. 🤔 #repair #wheelbarrow

  5. Aha! This should work. The spacing between the two sides of the wood are now tight enough the wheel will stay in place. #wheelbarrow

  6. Uh oh! Made a serious, strategic mistake in the wheelbarrow project. Will likely require reordering yet another set of handles. (Will reconsider what to do in daylight). Do not copy a heavily modified/jury rigged piece of equipment, is the lesson here. #wheelbarrow #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #repair

  7. Wheelbarrow parts repainted. New wheel acquired. Waiting on handles. (Will still be cheaper than a brand new wheelbarrow, but not as cheap as snagging a free one off the curb). Restoring it for family sentimental reasons more than anything, lol. #wheelbarrow #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #repair

  8. Well, heck, I guess that will ruin my plans for using my restored vintage wheelbarrow on the highway. 🤔#warning #tire #wheelbarrow

  9. Going with rust covering paint on this. Did a quick once over with a metal brush while wet to knock off loose rust, and I see the undercoat is most certainly that vintage leaded paint white (it has a certain sheen). So, better covered and encapsulated than removed. Washed with a degreaser. There are bits of ancient cement I can't remove... they will have to remain there I suppose. #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #wheelbarrow #repair

  10. Current status: these wheelbarrows have carriage bolts, but when they are very rusty, they spun. An angle grinder would be the best option here, but I have no angle grinder. So, manual hacksaw through the bolt (which works, but is a lot of work. But, great arm workout!) #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #repair #wheelbarrow

  12. That time one week ago when I helped some craigslist cats with a $40 mini wheelbarrow live their dream through a photoshop. [I hope they see this] #cats #wheelbarrow
