Building a Wheelburro











The fourth photo is the standard basket attachment. It is attached to the carriage frame with 8 bolts. You can have a variety of attachments, seats, secure box, or rails.
The third photo shows the turning pins. They are made from a 1 inch steel shaft with 1 inch and 5/8 inch pill box bearings. The pin is welded to the carriage frame and the pill box bearings are bolted to a plate that is welded to the bike tube frame.
The second photo is the lower main tube welded to the rear bike frame. There is another upper tube that is welded with gussets to the lower tube.
The first photo is some of the parts that go into building a Wheelburro. This is one of the strongest trikes produced.
