I call brilliant!! Had to run a couple bags of trash over to my dad's dumpster (ours was full) so i got a little seat time this morning. I try to keep my original Simplicity carry all box in good shape because I feel it's kind of rare, but this home made carry all from a sun runner I love, because I can USE it!! So handy....

Well, You can be certain the wheel was NOT invented by someone wanting to work harder!!!!
I now have 2 tractors that just pull carts, and I'm always amazed how much I find for them to do, |

I would find a carryall so incredibly useful. Just garden duty in the summer would be made so much nicer with one. I did pick up a JrCo swivel caster trailer....the kind that mounts to the rear of the tractor, no tongue, and it looks like thats what Jons was prior to it getting the fixed mounting.
My guess is, the carryall probably didnt see huge sales, and was something that often got beatup, rusted, converted to a trailer or scrapped. I know of only 3. Never have seen one on ebay or CL. |

| I love the carry all but would take up too much room in my tractor shed :( I already have to hang the trailer I have on the side wall and park a tractor underneath it. |

I got the newer carryall from a Simplicity dealer, I think he said he had it fabbed from a sunrunner.
And yes, I have only seen the one carryall box in person and knew I probably wouldn't see another so I grabbed it. It wasn't cheap but my favorite use is carting the kiddies around in it, and of course, a nice bench seat.

Oh yeah, and even a good place to take a nap!!!
And might as well add some of my favorite shots of the carryall box. Not sure this is what it was originally designed for, but it works well!!

| Having worked alone for many years until my daughter started helping me this last year I have come up with all kinds of solutions to accomplish two and three man jobs by myself. I always say there is no use in working hard if you can figure out how to work smart. |

Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.
