Sorry for the picture will try to get out of the shed nexttime it's just that the floor is literally disintegrating so afraid I will fall through trying to get out of there. It's about 4x6 foot I think it was used to move hay but not sure. Has all cast iron frame and handles. Thank you
Interesting piece. Possibly "home made." You won't know until you get it out and look for a) maker's markings or name plate, b) less than factory-level welding. Like any wheelbarrow it could be used to move anything; it certainly would move a lot of hay at one time. FYI: the frame does not look like cast iron. It appears to be welded-up channel iron sections.
PS. Have you ever hear of something called a "dumpster"? :-)
Sorry about the mess it's one of the sheds located on a large south Carolina farm that was inherited to me from my grandfather and I live in Florida so it's hard to clean everything when I go up there every now and again. If the floor wasn't rotted out on a lot of places I would have already had someone clean it but it's a liability becuase of the condition of the floor. I am going this weekend up there and will figure out how I can pull it out and take better pictures. Oh and yes now that I take a closer look I see what you are saying avoid the frame not being cast iron, I know that part that holds the wheel in place is cast iron and I guess I figured everything else was to, sorry.
Thank you for your comment
It looks like some of the places "American Pickers" get into! ;-)
PS: Be Careful!!!!
