Holy cow look what someone gave me tonight!

I stopped at a home that had a bunch of stuff out and asked if they minded if I snagged some stuff (they were up in the garage). they said go ahead! so as i was grabbing stuff the guy yelled down ''Do I want a dolly?'' I said sure, I figured it was a broken one. the son wheeled it down and as I was putting it in my truck I thought to myself, ''this doesn't look broken!'' i said ''thank you so much'' and the son said ''Merry Christmas!'' I get home and there isnt anything wrong with it, the handle comes apart to turn it into a 4 wheeled cart!! They were moving he said, I guess they didnt need it any more. How nice was that??!!! I can keep this one at my house and wheel it around my neighborhood on scrap night or if my truck isnt home and someone has something for me!!

Yep! but its not for scrappin!!

I think for this new dolly I am going to build a box for it to hold more stuff for wheeling around the streets. Or figure a harness for one of the dogs to pull so they get walked and worked out at the same time and I have free hands for grabbing stuff!!

We can't have too many trailers, wheel barrows or buckets

Ya with the buckets. A few years ago when i was hot-n-heavy in the building biz i used to take the time to wash out all of the 5 gallon sheetrock mud buckets. My subs all looked at me funny, but i hated to throw things out. I hoarded them in my garage attic and now i know why!

Those kind are handy, I've had em too, just be aware the small wheels on front of that aren't made for bumpy places :)

Make sure the cotter pin is locked and secure to hold the handle in place. It's really easy for the handle to slide out and take out a row of teeth. Unless of course you want to look like a hockey player. Nice score. I've gotten two dollies one with pneumatic wheels ( flats of course) and an appliance dolly with a broken strap.

Got tired of finding the tires were always flat or low on air so I purchased a pair of no flat from Princess Auto. No more flats.
