Those big wheel haulers are easier to push around over rough ground.

Nice job buddy! Had one like that around camp for years. I never looked as busy as "Spike" though.

Re: Made a couple wheelbarrows
By gum, that big wheelbarrow with the spoked wheel is a nice one! (The little one is even nicer, but is a bit small for my backyard work )

Cool beans bro. The little guy is another masterpiece from the master of art.
I have two of those old style wheels from old wheelbarrows that my dad had laying around for about 50 years. ----6

Re: Made a couple wheelbarrows
I have never before seen a wheelbarrow with big wheels like that. I can see the benefit. Very cool.

Glad you had a good ride Pitchy! Nothing like it when the bugs are gone and the leaves turned.

Re: Made a couple wheelbarrows
There are screw on gas caps for small engines with gauges in them. You know how they use some cork or such as that to turn the dial by sliding up or down on that twisted ribbon of metal. You could probably go to Briggs & Stratton on the internet and get one of them. You may have to cut the actual cap part and cut the center out of your motorcycle gas cap to fit the gauge part into the cap. If the gauge housing is plastic, you could use some 2 part epoxy which is safe for gasoline to connect the gauge to the cap. Some chrome color paint would cover the epoxy on the outside and make it look as if it belongs there. If you can't find a cap which fits with a gauge already in it, the other would be an option. A local hardware store might have the small engine gas cap with the gauge in stock for a reasonable cost.
Small engine warehouse is an internet company which may have the gauge.

Re: Made a couple wheelbarrows
Thanks piller, those were my first thought but of coarse they don`t make one to fit a Harley.
The gas tanks are threaded on the inside for the gas caps also.
I did find this one which I think will work good.

Lenn, I love your big one. Man, if I had some iron wheels around the place I would have never bought the True Temper cheapy from Home Depot.
