Wheelbarrow Parts Box Wt/Wheel

fit my 20+ year old wheelbarrow perfectly. Restored perfectly.

The parts were almost the same as my yellow two wheel wheelbarrow. I had to drill a couple of holes, and the new Frame does not quite reach the ground on flat terrain, but as I use it in uneven horse paddock and sheds, the difference in size is not important. I could have replaced both frame pieces and not had that problem, but only one side needed replacement. I have the other frame piece as a backup should one of the pieces break on one of my three yellow wheelbarrows.

My wheelbarrow legs rotted out. It was old, inexpensive and plastic. But it's light and handy. I considered buying another light one, but figured it would be $50 cheaper to repair and one less thing for the landfill. In hindsight, if you're looking to avoid repair frustrations and challenges, and you're dealing with fixing an inexpensive wheelbarrow, a new one might be the best value and save a little time. I actually have a much heavier metal wheelbarrow. If a part on that broke, this kit might deliver consideable savings over replacement. Compared to other options this kit is a good value. You get almost all the parts and hardware - except for the handles - for the price of what others charge for only the legs without any hardware. You'll be reusing the handles so if they're not in great shape that might also weigh in favor of replacing rather than repairing a light, inexpensive wheelbarrow. The hardware is important. The existing nuts and bolts were completely rusted. I broke two free using a powered ratchet; the other two had to be cut with a hacksaw. Annoying. After that, the repair was smooth enough. Unlike other reviews, my wheelbarrow holes lined up well enough if I reused my existing (slightly rotten wedges) and avoided the new plastic wedges. In the end, I used only the two legs and brace and saved the rest. If you're anticipating a complete overhaul expect some hardware and fit challenges. All in all, Im pleased with the quality and value, though it would probably be easier and quicker to assemble a new wheelbarrow rather than dealing with disassembly, rusty hardware, parts not lining up, etc. If you're looking to do a complete overhaul or individual part repair, this is a good value, but as others have mentioned it may not be "plug and play".

Good as new

We purchased a Tru-Temper, 2 front wheel wheelbarrow (Ace Hardware) several years ago. The legs provided with it are little more than folded sheet metal and eventually wore through where they contact our concrete floor. Ace no longer sells parts but I found this kit online. The legs included in the kit are an exact replacement for the original and for a few extra bucks you get a wheel, hardware and all the support struts should you ever need them going forward. Very satisfied.

I think the product is fine, but it was extremely difficult to make it fix on my 40 year old steel wheelbarrow. Close, but enough off that in retrospect I would have just bought a new wheelbarrow.

This kit mostly fit my True Temper 6 cu ft steel tub wheelbarrow that needed new parts. Had to do some minor modifications for some of the pieces to fit. The nuts and bolts are large and should support a fair amount of weight. The wheel is rated up to 425 lbs. I had to drill a hole in each of the wedges since the existing holes were a little too far apart for my wheelbarrow. An easy task since the wedges are plastic. I had to flex the support legs so that the holes would line up with the bolts from the wheelbarrow tub (same spacing issue as with the wedges). Because the new wedges are taller than the old wedges, it changed the angle that the support legs make with the tub, so the legs don't sit flush to the tub. The attached photo shows a new wedge compared to an original wedge and in the corner of the pic you can see how the support leg doesn't sit flush to the tub. Hopefully, a heavy wheelbarrow load won't bend the legs. I also drilled an extra hole in each of the support legs to accommodate the original TrueTemper cross member. That metal piece is a lot wider than the narrow black cross member from this parts kit and I assume that the wider plate braces the legs better. I might drill another set of holes to install the black bar as well for even more bracing. Edit: I drilled one hole in each supporting leg to add the black brace. I wanted to position the brace about halfway up the supporting legs, but the spacing was too narrow for the brace to fit correctly. I ended up attaching the brace near the bottom of the legs. The position is high enough so that it sits above the ground when the wheelbarrow is on the ground. You can also see that the black support legs are slightly narrower in width that the original True Temper legs. On the wide True Temper brace, there are flanges to position the legs and you can see a little bit of space on either side of each leg. The original legs fit between the flanges exactly. So in theory, the legs in this kit might be a little weaker than the original wheelbarrow legs.

Almost fit my old True Temper perfectly....minor bending and a few SS bolts and I was back in BIDNESS!!
