    Dude, you saved me with this video. I needed this cart badly to haul storage bins and the stupid instructions were in tiny lettering that I could barely see! In the Spring, I will use it to haul fertilizer and mulch! You ROCK!

    • @ZenaBlase
      @ZenaBlase Рік тому +2

      Not only is it tiny, none of the hardware is numbered in its packaging, so the instructions that are, for example referencing, "use Nut 9 and washer 13" are meaningless. Incomplete' too. Unless you use the small washers on both sides of the steering mechanism, you'll wind up with extra parts. Nothing said about the 4 lock washers.

      Your very welcome! I’m happy people still find my silly videos helpful. As for the missing pin and washer, if they are indeed missing I wouldn’t be at all surprised the way China cranks these things out so fast! BUT, I’m sure you can find those missing pieces at your local “home improvement” stores hardware department. If Ave Hardware is a thing in your area I’d start there. Why? Because they have an excellent hardware selection with some of the most oddly specific items and selection that Home Depot can’t compete with! Though for simple parts like that and the likelihood of accessibility, the depot is probably a good bet. Thank you for watching!

  • @binovc69
    @binovc69 7 місяців тому

    I noticed that when attaching the flat connecting bar (about 9:20) the assembly works much smoother if you place the flat bar UNDER the steering arm bars ("under" with the wagon upside down). The instructions show it assembled as in this video, but the steering arms scrape badly against the flat connecting bar that way.
    Also the instructions (and parts list) doesn't show the lock washers for the wheels.
    Also, I was going to re-use the old wheels from my old (previous style) cart (which finally rusted out on the steering arm, but I had recently replaced the rusted out wheels), but doesn't work! The old wheels are slightly wider than the new wheels, so that they bind up when tightening the acorn nuts.
    Thanks for posting this video!

I purchased two of them for our steel yard. Our customers load them up with a couple hundred pounds of steel scrap all the time. Honestly can't believe they haven't been destroyed. That says something.

So I would say this much, Those washers are just a way to keep nuts from backing off over time. Use where needed! (insert laughy winky face). I hope this was helpful and Thanks for watching!

    Fill those tires with expanding foam, did it to my Pneumatic tire hand truck when the tire would keep going flat. Flip the cart upside down so the wheels can spin freely. If it has a tube (some do) remove it. Then puncture 3-4 small holes in the tire to be able to feed the tube from the can of expanding foam. Squirt in small amounts then spin tire. That will send all the foam evenly around the tire while wet and pliable. As it expands it will push all the air out the holes and then the foam will start coming out. Once it cured cut the excessive foam that leaked out. Homemade run flats !!!!!!

On the flip side, I wish Harbor Freight would send you a cart every time they change the parts or design. I just bought one yesterday and reading they changed it a bit. Hoping to have done it myself but not sure now. Too bad they don't have a free assembly like Home Depot does.
