We had this big wheelbarrow that the plastic tub broke. They wanted as much for the new tub as a new one. I hung onto the frame. With a little cutting of wood, steel, aluminum and a bit of blacksmithing an old shelf bracket - I made this. I spent $6 on some bolts - re-purposed everything else. The striker even hangs there all the time.
We now keep our fence lines clear quickly and easily. One note - don't walk into the wind with a 500,000 BTU flame with shorts on - unless of course you need to shorten your leg hair

Re: Re=Purposed Wheelbarrow - Weed Burner
Good idea! I made a yard tool tote with a golf bag cart and a fiber barrel. Also put together a device to inject antifreeze into tractor tires from an old out of compliance propane tank. Have not learned how to post pix on here from phone.

Re: Re=Purposed Wheelbarrow - Weed Burner
Here is a picture of my re-purposed wheel barrow.
I wanted to make something that looked like a 60's altered dragster.
I built everything, even the straight axle suicide front.
It has a briggs 18 hp twin

That's incredible, great ingenuity.
