Sweet! You guys are moving right along. Is that a split horseshoe you're using for the rear axle brace?

USA Bearings & Belts has nice machined hardened steel bearings that are a direct replacement for the cheap stamped bearings usually supplied with typical wheelbarrow wheels. See their 3/4" lawn mower flanged bearings, part# IH-384881 at around $6.00 per pair.

Great progress and pics. Too much sawdust on my floors keeps me welding outside.

By the way, is that the front of a train in your shop?!?!?
