[QUOTE="dogsled, post: 5650753, member: 22589"] Mostly finished my latest re-purposing project yesterday. My neighbor pushed this JD dump cart out to the road. The tub portion was broken loose and tires were shot. I pondered it a moment and decided I had everything I needed to turn it into a flat bed dump cart for towing behind my mower or atv with enough ground clearance for rough terrain. Will be perfect for hauling bags of mulch or deer corn. I mainly wanted something lower that I could drag deer onto, I have trouble loading deer onto my atv's racks due to atv height and shoulder injuries. If needed I can attached a snatch block and use a rope to pull a carcass up onto the bed. The bed is part of a metal stair railing, the wheels are never flat that a buddy gave me when he was moving. The front rail is an old atv brush guard. Total cost so far is $10 for the replacement bearings. The shaft ID of the original bearings was 1/2, the trailer axle is 3/4. If the run flats don't work out, wheel barrow tires/wheels will also work on it. Still need to add a couple of D-rings and paint it. Have to pick up the D-rings, but my total cost is still going to be under $20. I tested drove it yesterday without a load, pulls great. [/QUOTE]
