Homemade Bow Dolly

Post by Cliff » 21 May 2018, 15:08

Thought I'd better make life a bit easier, after a trip to the local tip (sorry, recycling centre) I managed to recycle a couple of wheels someone was chucking away. Looked Ideal for a dolly, so I had a root round in my junk and found all the other bits I needed....Fire up the Quattro! ....I mean Welder.

Materials: 2 wheels - Steel Box section with axle through- Dumbbell with locking end screws. Steel tent pole, shackle and other bits and pieces.

It's adjustable in height with the screw threads top and bottom, plus it will revolve to steer., and might even be capable of off road slow towing on the back of the truck, not tried that yet!

Sorry to hear about the knee, hope it's better soon, as to the dolly, any large nut and bolt welded to the upstand and the axle will give you a swivel joint.
