Sweet! You guys are moving right along. Is that a split horseshoe you're using for the rear axle brace?

USA Bearings & Belts has nice machined hardened steel bearings that are a direct replacement for the cheap stamped bearings usually supplied with typical wheelbarrow wheels. See their 3/4" lawn mower flanged bearings, part# IH-384881 at around $6.00 per pair.

Great progress and pics. Too much sawdust on my floors keeps me welding outside.

Glad he didn't grind his leg off, since he was looking at the camera instead of the metal......

By the way, is that the front of a train in your shop?!?!?
