Fort Wheel Barrows

Hi all

I have a Fort wheel barrow, some how the wheel (not the tyre) has been damaged, any ideas where I might get a replacement?

I have checked on the web only to find that a wheel will cost nearly as much as a new barrow.
Can you help?

 

PS. - have you tried straightening the wheel? If that's what's wrong, or bracing it, if it's broken??

 

I once fixed a wheel barrow with a wheel taken off an old mangled kiddie's bike that had been dumped. Looked a bit odd but it worked :D

Try asking at your local skip or council recycling depot - you'd be surprised what they have there.

 

Have you tried screwfix.com or Machine Mart ?

 

Thanks for the replies.

Nixonf23 - tried to fix the wheel but its moulded plastic not easy to repair.

Will look into the other ideas.

Cheers

Like I said, Nic S - sometimes it's useful to be female!!

 

Just as a follow up to this, the Screwfix spare wheel is �£12.99. Reference is 20600.

Description as follows:

Pneumatic wheel 360mm

diameter 360mm. Fits most wheelbarrows. 100kg load rating. Rubber tyre inflates to 2.0bar. Bore size 25mm.

We've used Screwfix for years - never had any complaints!

Hope that helps :D
