Securing the guncart to the Neuton wagon

Hi Cowboys,

The picture shows the axle passing through the Neuton hauler box just in front of the rear wheel. The key keeps the axle locked in place. An identical arrangement is on the opposite side. The axle passes through the gun cart base. A second axle with like arrangement passes through the front of the tub and again through the gun cart. This secures the gun cart so it cannot move unless the axles are removed. The rear axle of this arrangement will be used with the rear hauler wheels if the Neuton fails. Gotta have some way to keep going under any circumstance.

Neuton guncart hauler continued . . .

Hi Cowboys,

Don't know fer sure if this gun cart hauler will work out, but I've made some modifications to stabilize the unit. The add on wheels float about 1/2 inch above the turf on the level so the swivel wheel can help steer while under power. The add on wheels will help stabilize the umbrella in the wind and stabilize the cart when using the C & B loading tool. Still haven't worked out how to hold the cart on the hauler. The intent is to allow the cart to return to the original manual layout in case the motorized unit fails. The rear wheels will fit right back on the original cart. Most likely I'll lower the work box on the back about a foot as the hauler makes it too high for convenient use.

In this view, the wheels are set back about 8 inches from the swivel steering wheel. The set back is what gives the hauler it's stability. The set back bracket is tack welded for now. Notice also that I've removed the upper part of the tub. I intend to make a shroud and anchor it to the tub to give the plastic some rigidity. The bungie tie down doesn't do the job that's needed. But, the components must disassemble to reduce the lift weight to haul the thing in my truck.

I'll set a second battery on the plastic above the rear wheels. Need to check the electronics for the charging system so I'll know if I can just couple the charger to the add on battery. Removing the battery from underneath the cart is much too difficult to replace a drained battery.

Spare tires might also be a problem, but . . .

The cart is rated for 200 pounds, so it won't hold my weight. Added a 3 legged stool to the cart for the purpose.

Sure doesn't look very cowboy in this configuration. :(

My syringe for Buller Lube and a gun cart hauler

Hi Cowboys,

Things are kind of out of order per usual. So, here's he umbrella deployed on the cart. Too dark, but flash work is hard in bright sun light.


The picture of the Newton Hauler is a work up to a real cart using the drive assembly. For now, I've removed the wheels and set the old cart inside the wheel barrow. The run time is advertised as 5 hours, but that's for intermittant use. The real continuous run time for a fully charged battery is 90 minutes. I'll add a second battery to have as back up. The cart will handle 200 pounds.

The old fashioned syringe with the cannula tip squared off is great for running a bead of lube around the perimeter of the ball in the C&B chamber. Used Pearl Lube softened with lots of olive oil. While wads can work well below the ball, I like the economy of using the syringe.
