I had made another cart up over the winter. Matter fact just got done painting it.
Sometimes my projects just seem to go in slowmo. But here is a picture of it. Brakes are a must if the terrain is less than flat.
I use these to haul the heavies (Motors, pumps, winches...). :tongue3:

GH fab job rocks,as usual, and see the brakes too!!. The outside bar over the wheels is a great stability edition as really makes the frame much more rigid and helps keep brush outta them spokes. All you have to figure out is the center of gravity on whatever your hauling and good to go for many pain free miles-cool tool-John

Instead of building a cart I just added easily removable wheels to my 4" dredge.
Pull 3 hitch pins and all the wheels are off...... or leave em on if the water is deep enough.
(to enlarge just double click the photos)

Showing the gold and diamond fluid bed "add a trap" that I made.
No gold gets past the trap :icon_thumleft:

My brother (the one with the hat) did the welding of the brackets and frame mods.

sure like to see that dredge using a 3 inch SN and getting good gold! hint hint!:)

The 3" nozzle I got from you was for my highbanking fluid bed contraption. My 4" dredge uses a jetlog so no suction nozzle.



Here is the contraption that I needed the 3" suction nozzle for ........

Buddy it seems that you have a endless supply of aluminium laying around at your disposal.:) nice looking!

Thanks Russ,

I buy aluminum drop from a local fabricator for the going rate of scrap :icon_thumleft:
Wish they had more available.
