old style steel wheelbarrow wheel w axle - source?

May 18, 2009 1 Replies

does anyone know if and where you can still get new steel wheels for old builder's barras?



(i.e. the type with the 1" axle running through that goes into bearing housings each side, these bolted onto the "forks" of the barrow)



Mine has collapsed (rust) and all I'm being offered are plastic wheels or new inferior garden type barrows - at similar costs.....



thanks JIm


We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember jim saying something like:

Proper farmers' supply stores in any small country town.
