3-Wheel Dump Cart
This 3-wheel dump cart is simple but it works. We use it for miscellaneous hauling and maintenance jobs. The front fork of the rig came off a mini bike. The rear axle, wheels and differential were salvaged from an old garden tractor. The transmission, with 2 speeds forward and 2 reverse, came from a junked riding mower. Power is supplied by a Briggs & Stratton 3 1/2 hp. motor that's located under the seat. A drum brake on the rear axle is controlled by a hand grip. I built the frame out of square tubing. The dump box is 4 ft. long, 3 1/2 ft. wide, and 1 ft. deep. It hinges at the rear and dumps by hand. (Archie Smith, Rt. 3, Box 601, Mora, Minn. 55051)
