Re: wheels sunk in the dirt, when force fails, use finesse. High lift (Handyman) jack & a few scraps of 2x8 lumber. Jack it up & slip plank under wheels to bridge the holes. Gives a level start & easier than shoveling & chopping roots. Don't remember on the crank, does it have the stub poking out, or do you need the long one-piece crank? Not difficult for average putterer to make one up out of 3/4 shaft or 1/2 pipe. With a little help from the blue flame wrench a scrap of shaft can be bent to shape.

Scrap of 1/2 in pipe, couple 90� ell fittings & you have a crude crank. Shouldn't take over 30-45 minutes with time out for a cool beverage break. And a "Look Ma, I made it without spending any cash" proud moment. Just another way to get the job done. Willie

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
