Free-Wheeling Gate Swings On Truck Hub
Discarded truck hubs make nifty free-wheeling gate hinges, according to Ron Rehne at Wendling Quarries near Dewitt, Iowa.
The road into the company's main quarry, which is located in a cattle pasture, is guarded by a double gate made out of welded pipe. Each side of the gate mounts on a large truck hub anchored on the cattle guard that's positioned under the gate. The back side of the hub welds to the cattle guard and the axle stub on the hub is held in place against the frame of the guard.
Rehne says the gate swings easily with-out sagging.
