I fixed it up just like old. When we moved into our our old houls, I found this wheelbarrow in the chicken house.
It looked like it had been there as long as the house, which was built in the 1880s, except someone removed the wheel from it.
Sometime later, I was visiting the person that sold us the house. There in his garage was the wheel to the wheelbarrow that he had sawed off. He said he would take 20-Dollars for. I told him, "No, that's too much."
Two or three days later, he brought the wheel by our house and gave it to me.
I put it in our old store building and forgot about it for nearly 15-years. Last month, I got it and repaired the wheelbarrow" just like old." It is in the front yard full of flowers.
