    Engine cart (fully dressed)

    Anyone have plans/sketches for a SBF engine cart using dimensional lumber?

    Want to make a mobile cart.
    Engine stand in use.

    This is the best I have ,sorry no measurments it's long gone. but you can mostly guess what you need. I used some leftover 4x4's from a fence job  did many years earlier, never throw good lumber away!

    I did make one from a store shopping cart, but the wheels kind of went flat after a year of weight and sitting in one spot.

    Thanks, great ideas.

    I ended up using one of the rectangular heavy duty pallets that I saved from a work project.

    Found a small home made cart in garage by previous owner and repurposed the wheels for my engine cart.

    I’ll take a picture tomorrow, was tryIng to beat the rain and get the fully accessorized engine out of the bed of the truck.

    I know it’s hard to throw away good lumber. Apparently so did previous owner of this home😂

    Rudi , I like your carb cover 👍🏼
    And do you mean an old fart? 😂
