I recently had a job to work on a structure back behind some tanks at a wastewater plant. Couldn't get my trailer in, too far away for the 150' of cable I have. I tried a wagon from TSC that suppossed to be rated for 1100# .That proved to be very optimistic, and scary, and very unstable. The welder weighs about 600# full of gas, with cables. So I made a buggy for it.
I got a pair of punture proof wheelbarrow tires at Good old Harbor Freight. I had some big casters and stock laying around the Magic Garage.
The tires are great. Filled with some kind of foam? I've deal't with satanic wheelbarrows too many times where the tire goes flat when you turn your back. I haven't had to good luck with the goopy stuff you put in tire.
I got to thinking and last weekend I put a fire extinguisher on it

here was my attempt with the Tasctor supply wagon.

I'll probably paint it when you actually build something with that new stickmate of yours:gunsfirin

You seem to share my love of painting, Jim. I loathe painting anything. And generally don't.
