I have two wheelbarrows. One is a metal one with one wheel up front. It is very old and I occasionally use it but not for loads that are heavy or awkward. The second, and most often used is a fibreglass(heavy duty) wheelbarrow with two wheels up front. It came from Sam's Club and I paid about $50 for it many years ago. It just keeps on working with no quality problems. If it ever fails, I will head for Sam's Club and hope they are not out of them. If they are, I will find another two wheeler somewhere else. Another option is one of the two wheeled, wooden garden carts. I bought mine 35 years ago and it has finally worn out. I learned too late that the bed can be easily lined with sheet metal which would extend the life of that bed for many extra years of service. This has been one of those few things in life that we buy and that are really worth the money. It will haul 400 lbs. and larger items than a wheelbarrow. Mine is the largest with 26' wheels and I intend to buy another to replace the one that is failing. The purchase of a new one is not urgent immediately because the Sam's Club wheelbarrow handles most of my needs but the wheelbarrow will not handle as many concrete blocks, multiple large bags of fertilizer etc. at one time as will the wooden garden cart. The best hoses for me have been the really well built and heavy ones. Mine have come from Sears and other places. They do not seem to fail and often have life time guaratees if you keep the paperwork (I do not).

Well, I hope you have alot of patience! First I would go to sears.com, enter you tractor number. This will eventually lead you to a parts breakdown for your model. Now study the parts break down and go inspect the tractor steering parts, naturally you will want to look for play or slop in parts. Most designs have the stamped steel front axles, if yours cast iron then it would be different on my following instructions. usually you will need the nylon snap in probably the sector gear, steering shaft, usually the pittman shaft. but First look at the front axle while somebody is moving the steering wheel. If it rocks back and forward the center mount bolt may just be loose. If not you may have to change the bearing spacer (bushing) on the front axle. You also may have spindle wear,tie rod, and drag link wear. basiclly you will have to figure out which parts are worn and just not loose where tighting will remove some of the slop. The hardest part would be the sector gear and steering shaft, the steering shaft cause on most models the shaft just don't come out without tearing the dash apart. also has a nylon steering shaft bushing thats probably worn also. Good luck this will test you patience and mechanical ability to the max. "O" if I had a camera I would also take pictures, incase you need something to look at when you assemble it.

JustALurker. Check your e-mail. I just sent you some good info. Windcatcher

is it a David Bradley? sears sold them in the 50's and 60's. is a good machine is great for keeping weeds under control cultivating single rows. the planter would be a great thing too. my dad had 0ne and we worked about 1 acre with it. likely will not bust fresh sod but once you get going you will be fine perhaps haing the acerage plowed and disced with a big tractor from time to time.
