Got my first hand cart today! Need parts and info

Post by Andy Cole » Sat Oct 01, 2022 3:55 pm

This was given to me today! I just had to drive an hour one way to get it.
It has issues, but I expected issues in whatever I found.
It the tires are toast, literally.. they were in or near a fire. The original tongue was cut and shortened, thereby losing the original lunette.
It is also missing the cross bar for pulling.
Oh, and the data plate is missing.

I was literally expecting 100% of those issues as they are so common with found hand carts.

The rims, spindles, axles, frame, ribs, tow loops, and crossbar storage loop is there…meaning..ALL of the real important parts are there!!

Is Mr. Snyder still making parts? If not, are there sources for the parts elsewhere?
How long should the pole/tongue be?
