  • Small projects from days gone by

    Just a small assemblage of past projects for perusal.
    Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle.

    I'll see your torch cart, and raise you.
    No more broken regulators since I built this one, and it can easily be picked by a crane or loader.

      Wow!
      My concrete is only 5 1/2 in. thick...not sure it would handle the weight.

      I like the big tires....if I wasn't so cheap or would have had something like that on hand, or ever thought my torch cart would leave the concrete. I would have had bigger tires like those.

      I like it.

        BeRotten, I like your MIG cart also. Funny that when we were showing our MIG setups a few weeks ago that no one had hit on the idea of a roll cab for a welding cart. Makes sense; keeps all the welding tools at hand when you need them.

            Rocky D, is that paint Caterpillar yellow? I made my first utility trailer in 1970 or 71 and painted it Cat. yellow. I sold it a year later and it is still rolling around Houston with the same paint job. The old fellow who bought it is apparently enamored with it because my cousin tells me he has had several offers to buy it and has refused them all. Guess I ought to get a picture of it before its too late.

              Man, I wish I had a digital camera, then I could play too!
              I love big wheels on carts.
              Thanks..... Cowboy

                Yea Rocky, but you ain't got a lifting ring, or 2 different types of fire extinguisher, and you can't off road yours.
                13" pneumatic tires are definitely great, and mine can be towed at 40 mph, if I can convince somebody to sit on the tailgate and hang on to it.

                  Heavy duty Cart

                  Franz that Torch cart of yours is really built. As well as being able to tow at 40 mph, I think it may survive an air drop from a C130

                          It's a M4900SU. Approximately 50 hp, so far it's been treating me very well. I don't farm much, it's been used for utility work mostly, like keeping up my 1/2 mile long driveway and general dirt work.
                          The front loader is the greatest thing since sliced bread...a real work and back saver. In general....I love it.

                            Farmer, as someone who has been shat out the back of a C 130, I'd say the cart might be a bit light duty for that, BUT, if it was strapped to an impact skid, would be OK.
                            Scott, It's RustOleum yellow, I got a load of it for a buck a quart at the Dollar Store.
