Pictures are of the MIG cart I built from scrap pipe and available "in house" parts for the welder I borrowed from a friend. Wheels and tires are from an AgriFab plug aerator my SIL gave me. The hubs were bent but I straightened them out. The front handle is from an old computer monitor wall bracket.







Is complete except for disassembly to paint and then reassembly. I love it when I can make something useful from "recycled" materials.

Looks a LOT stronger than the one we got from Harbor Freight a few years back! I love seeing homemade projects made from scrap!

A guy, on one of the other forums I frequent, made an APU just because he was told what he had in mind couldn't be done. He used an old push mower chassis, 10 hp vertical shaft Briggs, power steering pump, rerouted to use an external reservoir made from an old stainless catalytic converter. With quick disconnects he can use it to operate hydraulic cylinders etc without having to have the tractor there if he just wants to raise or lower something.

Great work as always, Roy! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Update: MIG cart completed.





Now all I have to do is find a place to store it when not being used.

That's my bigest challenge too! Finding a place to store it!

Nice cart! I need to make some handles and a front foot for my generator.
