Northern Tool Jumbo Wagon Review, Assembly and Modifications Item 143322

[@deloreschildress5569]

I bought this 2 days ago and just got around to putting it together. Took one look at the instructions and said no I'm going to KZbin. Your video was the first one I saw to make sure you didn't talk rocket science over my head. I put my wagon together based on your video including the wheel modifications. Thank you so much for this video

[@ghostses]

Good deal Delores! Glad the video was helpful. Mine is still holding up well after all these years. It lives outside and the only thing I've had to do is patch the tubes. Good luck, G.

[@pixmahler5859]

This was EXTREMELY helpful. I obtained a well-used cart just like yours and wanted to replace the pneumatic tires with no-flat rigid tires and could NOT extricate the tire from the axle. Couldn’t find a manual to see how it was constructed so your video answered those questions. I just need to apply more “muscle” to pull the tire from the axle. Here goes.......the thing was free so if I can’t get it off, nothing spent yet - nothing lost yet.👍

[@ghostses]

Glad it was helpful! take care, G.

[@malindafoster5719]

Thank you so much for this video! My instructions for my landworks wagon were useless. Your instructions made it so much easier to figure out how to assemble my wagon. I wish I had watched your video before I opened up the screws and bolts, marking the numbers on the paper would have been helpful, but I had already opened the package & had screws, washers and bolts everywhere.

[@ghostses]

No problem Malinda! Glad it was helpful. Take care, G.

[@stevesupertech8922]

Very thorough and smart how to instructional video. Needed this, as manual too small and not enough visual steps. Well done, and thank you.

[@ghostses]

Thanks again Steve! Glad it was helpful. G.

[@MrTex172]

Very good information just bought mine today and have already used your advice and modifications. Thank you

[@ghostses]

Thanks! Not sure if they're the same these days, but glad it was helpful nonetheless. Good luck and take care, G.

[@browntroutfisherman]

purchased one of these carts in uk last week. Found your vid very useful and applied all of your mods plus a couple more of my own and well worth the extra bit of effort. Cart is now top notch. Thanks for sharing.

[@ghostses]

+browntroutfisherman That's great! I'm glad you found it useful. Mine has done a lot of work and is still holding up great. Take care, G.

[@MRrwmac]

Nice price on what appears to be a good versatile wagon. Appreciate the build video with the suggested mods for safety and usability. With rails down looks like the wheels will scrape on the side rails if overturning but still very useful wagon! Good luck on the property wall renovation. Thanks for sharing.

[@ghostses]

Thanks Mac. I thought is was a fair price to save tons of heavy carrying. The wheels do rub when turning, but the sides just move out of the way. It doesn't seem to bind up when pulling it around. Lots of work to do with removing the wall, but this should help out greatly. Take care, G.

[@ghostses]

Update Mac. When I was testing it out, I did not have the front rail folded down- just the sides. With the front rail up, it does rub and move the sides out of the way. But, with the front folded down, the cutout in the front rail limits the steering so the wheels do not rub. It does reduce the turn radius with the front down though. G.

[@davidcatron3390]

Thanks, your video was much better than the instructions which came with the cart.

[@ghostses]

Glad it was helpful David. Good luck with yours. Take care, G.

[@entrendzik]

Much more useful than the instruction manual. Thank you !

[@ghostses]

Glad it was helpful. Good luck, G.

[@treborterb]

Very well made video. Thanks.

[@ghostses]

Good deal. Take care, G.

[@Tech-Mark]

Thanks for this video ! There were no reviews online for this, so your video was very helpful. One thing I want to modify right away, I want to be able to attach the handle to my riding mower. Some of the other carts sold allow the handle to be used either way. Shouldn't be hard though.

[@ghostses]

No problem Mark! Glad it was helpful. Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to modify it for your application. Good luck with your project, G.

[@MADMAX353]

Outstanding video! Made putting mine together much easier....thank you sir.

[@ghostses]

Thanks Franco! Glad it was helpful. Take care, G.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

We had something similar to that. It was so cheaply made. I can't believe we kept it. The wheels bowed out both horizontally and vertically. Everything was loose right out of the box too. Yours looks better built. We paid over double what you paid for yours.

[@ghostses]

I haven't put a load on it yet, but it seems like it will hold up fairly well. I'm not going to test it with a ton though...lol. I bet I couldn't even move it with that much weight. G.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Yeah they over rate those things like they do gas mileage for cars. Yeah I could move it down hill with a ton in it, but it might be a little difficult to stop. lol.

[@ghostses]

Love2boat92 Too true about ratings. It might be a fun ride though! G.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Haha. yeah. lol.

[@bain5872]

These little carts are excellent for doing the around the house jobs and more. I have one of these but unfortunately, I did not get the deal you got....! I've had it for over 10 years now and use it behind my 16hp twin horse I rebuilt about the same time. Good to hear from you G...! I'm sure, this machine will serve you well. It looks tough for sure my friend.

[@ghostses]

It's sure going to save my back for sure! It's doubling as a wagon for the child as well...lol. I'm still around but have been really busy. And it's going to get worse next week. Take care Bain, G.

[@builttowin1987]

My axle shaft isn’t on my cart. Does it come with it attached on it?

[@ghostses]

Mine did. It was welded in place. G.

[@dianeduvall3181]

I’m having a problem with the nut under the axle falling off. The wheels lock and I’m going nowhere. Help!

[@ghostses]

I don't know exactly what you mean Diane. Perhaps you can note the time in the video for where your problems are so I can assist. G.

[@baconsoda]

I can think of a lot of jobs I could use one of those for if I pulled it behind my mower. I bought a tipping trailer a couple of years ago that is a good job but your cart would make loading bags easier. Sale time coming...I think I'll be on the lookout. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@ghostses]

Thanks Brendan. I could have used it tons by now. I usually use a wheel barrow, but it's hard to put some things in it- not unlike your tow behind- and is difficult to move around odd loads. I think with all of the gardening you do, getting one of these would be a great thing for you to have. Good luck, G.

[@davidgriffith6742]

Thank you this video was very helpful the instruction packet included is design for a master's degree not a high school diploma

[@ghostses]

Glad it was helpful David. G.

[@davidgriffith6742]

I am curious about how long did it take you from start to finish

[@ghostses]

David, it's hard to say since I was filming- but 1/2-1hr would be a good guess. G.

[@davidgriffith6742]

@@ghostses yes I put one together last night I had bought for my wife it took about an hour and a half and I work very slowly when it's hot

[@ghostses]

I understand that! Take care, G.

[@mikhailtsypan9193]

Good video! Thanks 👍🏼

[@ghostses]

Thanks Mikhail! Glad you like it. Take care, G.

[@alansheedy3956]

Good instructions. I dont have anything that i havent modified. Even if it's as simple as using different nuts. It annoys my wife no end. I can see a day when you replace that piece of plastic with a 2x4. I would make sure the inside of the metal it rubs against is perfectly smooth and keep it well lubed. Thanks. Heading to Northern Tool...

[@ghostses]

Thanks Alan! LOL, me too. So far the plastic piece is still in good shape- but you and I both know it's just a matter of time. I will be fixing it at some point for sure. This wagon has lived outside for about 4yrs and has held up really well. Good luck with yours, G.

[@richarddabb8406]

Just bought the wagon from Northern Tool, got the same deal. What a bargain at $79. Great video, never once looked at the instructions, so much easier to follow what you were doing-Thanks so much for posting it. By the way, the axles are now threaded correctly and everything fits great. Sorry you had to go through that experience. The only negative is the smell,whether its the tires or they spray it with some kind of protectant, but its pretty nasty. Did you have this problem and is there a way to get rid of it? If anyone can answer I'd sure appreciate it. But again, the video is a real timesaver so I thank you again.

[@ghostses]

That's cool Richard! I'm glad the video was useful. Good to hear they've corrected the problem with the axles. Oh, the smell!!! LOL. It's coming from the tires and it will go away over time- probably a week or two. The HF stores smell like this really bad. It's something related to the manufacturing process on the rubber goods. It's some kind of off-gassing I would guess. Good luck, G.

[@HeavyMetal69360]

Built w/ your video. Ty!

[@ghostses]

Good deal! Take care, G.

[@Lawiah0]

My box arrived completely torn up; heavy items inside were allowed to move around; the "Parts Container" was found burst open, scattering small parts everywhere. Open inspection of the "Parts Container" it was found that one (1) Spring Washer (part #21) is missing from the kit. Eight (8) baggy ties, and one additional layer of cardboard around the inside-edge of the box would have prevented the above issue. Note the "Plastic Coupling" (part #19) is still loosely fitting and not drilled correctly, no Bolt/Nut/Washer is provided to properly attach. As shown in your video, use "Duct-Tape" to remove play from the handle assembly.

[@ghostses]

+Schpankme Verimuch Well that's not cool- to have it arrive with a bashed box and contents strewn about. I picked up mine locally and didn't have that problem. I guess they're not listening/watching since the coupling is still not correct, and that it's not drilled correctly. Tape does solve the problem with excessive play, but it shouldn't be required IMO. But overall, and for the cost, it's been working well for me. Once you use it for a bit, please feedback with your overall impression. Good luck and take care, G.

[@Lawiah0]

+ghostses This Jumbo Wagon is the perfect tool for moving Firewood from the Wood Pile up to the house. The fold down sides make loading and unloading very easy; we use the Wagon to carry and store the nightly Firewood, wheeling it directly into the house; in the morning it goes back down for more Firewood. Thanks for the Video.

[@ghostses]

+Schpankme Verimuch Sounds like it's working well for you now! Mines still holding up well for me! G.

[@kevinmoran2919]

could you send me the dimensions of the cart please? i am a festival goer and i am sick of carrying luggage from the car park to the camp site. I thought it would be a nice idea to built one of these for luggage that disassembles easily

[@ghostses]

+Kevin Moran Kevin, the basket itself is 24X48X12.5. They've discontinued this model, but the new one looks the same. Here's a link that might give you more info. They also have a smaller one that might be better suited- depending on your needs. Good luck with your project, G. www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200640326_200640326 www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200641817_200641817

[@kevinmoran2919]

Thanks mate

[@ghostses]

Kevin Moran No problem! G.

[@brod12313]

is it heavy?

[@ghostses]

It probably weights around 60lbs or so. Not that's it would be too heavy to lift, but an awkward load if doing it alone. Take care, G.

[@billypirtle1443]

Nothing but juck mine fell apart in one year I pulled it behind my gardentactor.

[@ghostses]

I don't pull mine with a garden tractor, but 9 years in and it's still in great shape. The only thing I've done since purchase was to change the tires. And, it's lived it's entire life outdoors and in the sun. To each their own.

[@billypirtle1443]

@@ghostses I had no problem with the frame it was the rims will not hold up.

[@ghostses]

@@billypirtle1443 I see. I still don't have that problem. Perhaps you can find a new set of beefed up rims, who knows. Take care, G.

[@edschissel9109]

think I'm going to grab one and mount a tool box to it for a nice off road/rough surface mobile tool cart. anybody know what the weight rating is for the northern tool and harbor freight carts? 1300lbs is bullshit. thing bend in half.

[@ghostses]

+Ed Schissel That's a good idea Ed! Not sure of the HF carts "true" capacity, or this one for that matter, but I can say I've had 900lbs on this cart and it held it just fine. It was 10 90lb bags of stucco mix. Mind you I didn't go too far with the load, and it certainly wasn't fun to move, but it held up just fine. Hope this give you some idea for your use. Good luck, G.

No problem Julie! Glad it was useful. Take care, G.

[@Christ-1]

Im going to eliminate the plastic piece all together and replace it with 2 metal spacer tubes that go on each side of handle. That should remove the slop in steering. Plastic is for toys.

[@ghostses]

Hope it works out well for you Mark! Take care, G.

[@stephensmith8756]

G Isn't it telling how Chinese assembly instructions are always missing just that last piece, or just that little important detail ? As a teacher, I find that characteristic in Chinese background students - they have a recessive gene that makes them inveterate short-cutters - to their cost. Maybe if Chinese copy assault rifles were made to the same standard as the cart, with similarly deficient assembly instructions, there wouldn't be as many crazy types, running around all parts of the Middle East like at present, spraying 7.62mm rounds into the air. Great review. Thanks for sharing. Regards

[@ghostses]

Thanks Stephen. I have noticed all the manuals are usually lacking in some way. I always attributed it to a translation problem to English. That's an interesting experience you've noted. Makes me think. Take care, G.

El presio

[@ghostses]

Sorry, I don't understand.

[@WebInvasion]

Harbor Freight has almost exactly the same wagon. Must be a Chinese factory pumping these out to different companies. They just paint them different colors.

[@ghostses]

I would agree! Take care, G.

[@steveelke]

thank you so much, the instructions were terrible

[@ghostses]

No problem Steve! Glad it was helpful. Take care, G.

[@usapatriot3274]

I guess that after getting this big boy for next to nothing, you can afford to pay 6% of the total wagon cost on just 4 nuts.

[@ghostses]

Yep! Take care, G.

[@get-the-lead-out.4593]

We can't count the number of times that both harbor freight and northerntool sold us a bunch of made in china, hong kong, india, etc garbage.... wrong and missing fasteners, items dented or flat out broke right out of the box, holes drilled so far off that we couldn't line them up to get a bolt through them, drill motors that started smoking within days of normal use, hyped up descriptions on what the item is capable of doing such as the weight it will handle, and otherwise EXTREMELY POOR lack of quality control thus not getting the quality we were told. Would easily rather pay a little more for something that's going to do what it's supposed to versus how much of our time they have wasted through us driving back out to return items and being on the phone with their customer service to set up the return for the items all the while we need to get the job done and now have to go through hassle and time/delays of trying to get what they said would be a quality item but at less cost!

[@ghostses]

I've had pretty good luck with both places- but have had things I need to correct for sure. I agree though- if two pieces with holes are supposed to line up- they should. Some things are so simple it's hard to believe they can't make them right. Good luck, G.
