A friend of mine gave me this old True Temper wheel barrow and I couldn't resist. Sanded it down, applied rust cure, heavy rust primer and 2 coats of Kubota orange to match my tractor. New never flat tire, new bolts, nuts ,washers and 2 coats of fence stain on the wooden handels. Amazon had the Kubota decals. Being retired I love doing these projects. Ready to get it dirty! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/04/full-63244-450238-img_5740.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/04/full-63244-450239-img_5739.jpg)

That’s really nice. The wife’s Dad’s wheelbarrow finally needed a big update, but she said no. Anyway, I could never have done as good a job as you did.

If I had bought one new, it would still look like that.

That is the true definition of retirement. Makes me look forward to it here in a few years.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

This past weekend I had my wife stop and grab some large fender washer to keep my tub secured to the handles. She threatened to buy me a new one, mine is only 25 years old. The handles have been replaced thanks to a Labrador that ate the wood ones, of course the replacement handles came from a unit I found on a curb because the plates tub was broken. It needs a few welds to stop the cracking, the never flat tire is splitting now, and a new coat of rust preventative paint would be nice. The amount of work it has seen in 25 years is really astonishing
