Crossbar length on Woods Handcart

Post by Andy Cole » Tue Feb 28, 2023 7:04 am

I am wrapping up the mechanical part of restoring (well....conserving and preserving) my M3A4 Handcart.
Can someone tell me the total length, end to end of the crossbar/pull bar?

Thanks!

Here ya go. It's from a steel M3A4. I have found subtle differences of about 1/4 inch in length of pipe on others I own.ImageImageImageImage

Thanks!
I must have called the part I need by the wrong name.
I need the pull handle, drawbar..that pins on the lunette and or the aluminum block on the front of the cart.
The tubing with the hole and pin in the center.

Can you get me that measurement as well?
I am sorry for the confusion.

Andy

If you just need total length, it's 34" measured from an original.
