Greetings Tombi,
Thanks for noticing that. It was my late fathers wheelbarrow and there is a story about it. Sometime over 50 years ago my parents won 10th prize in whatever they called the Golden Kiwi in those days. It amounted to $400.00 and my parents split it 4 ways. I spent my share upgrading my car, I don't remember what my sister and mother spent theirs on but my father bought that wheelbarrow and spent the rest putting in a concrete ring driveway to house the increasing number of cars at our house. All the concrete was wheeled from the mixer in that barrow. When dad moved to a unit he gave it to me. I use it all the time and I believe it still has the original tire which I may need to replace if we don't move into town first.
Regards Grandpamac.

It took me a year to track down a used one.They dont seem to make them any longer.The sprocket is plastic and it just breaks down over time.I could buy the sprocket but couldnt get the arbor off the pump.

Please Don't upset me by talking like that.
