How to make garden trailer axle

how to make a simple little strong axle for any small utility or garden trailer.
i used wheels with bearings already in them .
the beauty of doing it this way is , if you abuse your trailer and some how bend the all thread sticking out of each end of axle tube , you just get a new piece of all thread and replace it. axle tube doesnt have to be cut or rewelded

Very quick and to the point. No BS. Thank you for the awesome video.

Threaded rod is the best to use for an axel. When my old wheel bearings sheered off on my scooter. I had donor wheels which were smaller from an older scooter. I took the old rusted axel out, went to Home Depot, got threaded rod, cut it and screwed it on. The threaded rod coated $5.74 but it was 36 inches long. They didn’t have my size when I was looking for shorter length threaded rod, so I had to get the big one. In home depot they even give you a saw table where you can cut it there too.

Mine was 5/16 and the donor wheels were from a Razor Scooter.

Neat looking unit. I did a similar setup for my Rickshaw bicycle . I love to put things on wheels!

I want to build a garden cart using what materials I have on hand which is treated lumber. Bout the only things I need are a couple of wheels for the back, an axle and some angle iron. The wheels I have for the front are small and I thought of using wheelbarrow wheels for the back. My one concern is setting up the front wheels for turning as they are already attached to an axle. I thought of copying the steering from a child's Red Wagon. The cart's bed would measure 40 in. by 26 in., big enough to carry 6- 5 gallon buckets I would use it for hauling 5 gallon buckets of stuff and for hauling firewood. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

[@500passwords]

i guess copying wagon steering would work . . its always hard for me to answer without being there in person . if your gonna pull behind tractor be simpler to leave front wheels off. if your hand pushing mostly maybe get wheels with swivels built in . i don't know buddy . lol but good luck with the project :)

[@500passwords]

@Posty2196 i have done that before but its not as strong . instead of using all- thread i used big bolts . i welded the head of the bolt right to the side of the cart . it really just depends on how much weight your hauling around and what you have to weld the bolt to . .

[@andrewdoyle9643]

Im looking to make a cart but I only have standard bicycle wheels with loose ball bearings. Do you think it would be possible to use a similar axel design with these wheels without some sort of fork that supports the wheel on either side?

[@BladeInTheCrowd2]

Can you explain the materials you used and the steps better? I'm doing a project for school and need to build and Egyptian chariot. There is little on how to do this and I have little mechanicals know-how. Thanks!

[@N1XVAN]

better man awesome love it

[@Posty2196]

could i do the same thing but without the middle part? just by putting the thread and tire outside of a frame?

[@500passwords]

mig welding is the easiest to learn . but mig doesnt work outside . the wind blows your shielding gas away . you can buy fluxcore wire for some migs that will work outside. but in my opinion get a stick welder if your welding outside and get a mig welder if your inside . get the stick if your on limited budget , its harder to learn but works inside and out ..

[@jfarinacci0329]

thank you.

[@500passwords]

@Vincerama if it was used at high speeds all the time i might worry about threads . but it wont hurt anything on a yard cart.

[@500passwords]

thanks , its easy if you can weld a little

[@theofficialstig]

brilliant what diameter axel did you use and where can you find threaded wheels thankyou in advance

[@TheMooreDogs]

I'm trying to figure out how to build a cart for my 130 lb dog with bad hips and a bad elbow. I tried one of the premade dog strollers...to flimsy and hard to maneuver with a big dog. I tried one of the metal garden carts...it was too narrow, so it was unstable, and the wheels were too small to really effectively pull her on uneven ground. any ideas of a good place to start on designing a cart for her? I would need an easy way to get her on and off it it's too high. built-on folding ramp?

[@500passwords]

you could use a washer instead of the little square plates i cut and punched , it just wont be as thick and as strong. weld 2 or 3 thick washers together instead.

[@escinc11]

I like the video. Where did you get your wheels from?

[@500passwords]

@onetonmagoo thanks buddy .

[@BladeInTheCrowd2]

Thanks

[@Gokywildcats11]

We're did you get the wheels

[@500passwords]

thanks buddy , i got them at tractor supply

[@500passwords]

@303Miles no problem :)

[@500passwords]

i have a video called large dog rehabilitation machine. its in my dog stuff playlist . thats what i came up with. hope it helps . good luck man

[@greggmc2]

Where did you get the wheels? That's all I need yet for mine

[@500passwords]

the metal sleeve resting on the threads shouldnt turn if the bearings are good and you got it tightened up enough. so i dont think the threads cant dig into it that much :)

[@500passwords]

thanks buddy

[@not2fast4u2c]

be nice for a small welding cart

[@500passwords]

it was just loc-tight to keep the nuts from coming loose :)

[@500passwords]

i think it was 7/8 . got the allthread and tires at tractor supply . grab the allthread first , take it to the tire aisle . stick wheels on the end till one fits. lol piece of cake :)

[@quintana291]

How many pounds do you think this could hold

[@bilbilvit]

Man... I gotta get a welder.

[@500passwords]

i dont think this design is strong enough for a horse chariot . im assuming your project doesnt have to be period correct if your allowed to use modern materials . so my advice is maybe try some bolt on torsion axles like i used on my backhoe project , they would probably be safe enough depending on your design . good luck on the project .

[@500passwords]

@RCNUT98 thanks buddy

[@500passwords]

tractor supply company , rural king . there pretty common :)

[@500passwords]

thanks :)

[@whyname1980]

do you sale any of your dog carts???

[@silentmajor]

where do you get the tires?

[@RamRod_goes_treasure_hunting]

Are the inside nuts welded to the square tubing??

[@500passwords]

you can weld them if want to but easier replace all thread if don't , could get bent overloading or catching stump your choice i guess there are no rules except what works for you :)

[@griffin6912]

im building one no welding needed

[@500passwords]

@skyypilot01 thank you

[@RealCoolGuy]

That's just a straight axle...what about a turning axle?

[@kuladeeluxe]

Lucky dog.

[@petermpeters]

where did you get the wheels?

[@500passwords]

i cant remember buddy , i think the wheels were $15 each , probably another $20 in material besides that .

[@SweetFLGuy1]

500passwords Where can I buy cart wheels just like these that doesn't take air.

[@dalepres1]

No sound.

[@RustyZipper]

Fast forward

[@high_fructose_corn_syrup]

are you any good at fabrication? if so, can you do a tutorial on transforming a bike into a dog sulky? there is absolutely NONE on youtube and dog sulkying is becoming quite popular. if you had a DIY on how to make one cheap, i bet youd get massive views!!!! please consider this!

[@500passwords]

couple hundred probably . maybe 300

[@keliweisgerber3896]

I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on woodprix. Just google it.

[@500passwords]

no buddy , theres no way to power this axle and i wouldnt let people ride on this design . its just for hauling brush and stuff , you can find pre made components for your deal . use go kart parts . be safer

[@keliweisgerber3896]

I'll make it myself. Just got instructions from WoodPrix website and I'm ready to do it :D
