Scot 0 #1 Posted July 26, 2011 I have alot of trees in my yard. I originally bought this little rear engine Montgomery Wards mower to trim around my trees, house and flower beds but the motor ended up being in much worse shape than I hoped. I do need a little cart to pull behind the tractor to pick up sticks as I mow the grass. I'm also looking for any excuse to use my welder, I am way out of practice. Anyone considering the Eastwood mig welders I am very happy with mine. So the chopping begins. Cut the frame in half so it's easier to work with. Beginings of a yard cart. The frame spar was to high for a decent hitch height so I decided to cut that off as well. Notch out the frame with my grinder. That rectangle hole was a perfect fit to weld a peice of 3" x 1 1/2" in for the trailer tongue. My tractor came with a peice bolted on to raise up the hitch height. I removed it because it looked bad and was crooked and just use the stock hitch. However the one part of it fit perfect for my new trailer, so I welded it to the bottom of the toungue And there you have it. A home made yard cart. Not sure about the size of the box yet but I'm thinking bigger than this peice of plywood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
