Organ transplants (for a wheelbarrow)

I too have a wheelbarrow in new parts.
Sadly the only part of him that did not die in the blast is his wheel!
I was gutted as he survived being run over twice, dropped from a great height into a slurry pit and spending two weeks in a pond!
It was only the concrete that managed to slow him down!

Sounds like a mafia hit to me.
WLF will fight back!

It wasn't on Top Gear was it???
 
yard tools health is not a laughing matter, just weeks ago i have to give my broom a new spine. poor lad thought we were going to lose him after he broke his back. he isn't as tall now but he can work again so he is happy.

i wish your wheelbarrow a swift and health recovery. don't forget to give us an update

May I, as the voice of reason and soberiety, suggest the Green Wheel (and yes, it is indeed green, or at least parts of it are) from B&Q? Seven of your finest Great British Pounds.

I'm really wishing I had bought some shares in them now lol.

Good luck on the resurrection

May I respond, as the voice of anarchy and misrule, respond that we did in fact buy a 'Green Wheel' for our orange B & Q wheelbarrow (I have a fleet of 5 wheelies, don't ask), and that I am hoping to get some form of sensation back in my hands and arms within the next decade.

Shils do you have 5 grooms to go with your fleet of wheelies?

I don't even have 5 wheels to go with my fleet of wheelies.
Clearly.

ETA: If I did have 5 grooms, I'd make them carry everything, including me, around the yard instead of using wheelies.

Shilasdair I'd suggest go to your local old fashioned builders merchant. If it's one that's been there for years I can guarantee you they will have spares for a wheelbarrow lurking somewhere in the back of one of their sheds. Even more amazingly they'll charge you some obscure (and low )amount like £3.11 for a wheel, the wheel will of course be sized in inches and the price will relate to a pre decimalisation price.

Yeah, but I don't want to resort to sleeping with builders just for a new tyre.
A new wheelbarrow maybe...

My wheelbarrow who has sat for at least 6 months awaiting an operation to repair its ruptured outer part of tyre currently has its wheel in our local car tyre shop awaiting a new outer to be ordered (central tyres) but have also had them repaired at kwik fit in the past.

My friend had her barrow tyre done at central tyres last week and it now has the 4x4 of wheelbarrow tyres on it which is what mine is now waiting for!
 
Your wheelbarrow has given you a lifetime (a wheelbarrow lifetime, obviouly) of loyal service. Do the decent thing and eithe retire it to a happy life as a garden ornament, filled with earth and petunia plants, or pass it on to your local rag and bone man.
 
Hear Hear!
Too many wheelbarrows find themselves on a building site in their twighlight years. After giving their best years they are passed on with no care as to their future.
Seriously-if you take on a wheelbarrow then do the right thing when the time comes! I'm so fed up of hearing how another older barrow is being sold on just because he is no longer shiny!
Ok, rant over!!
