How to change / upgrade the wheels
This is a great machine. Wish I'd bought it years ago. I want to echo what others have said about the wheels. I also replaced the wheels on mine and it's much better - but I also wanted to share information on what to buy and how to do it so you don't have to do the measuring, guessing, and fitting I did. Here was my parts list: - 2 x Universal Flat Free Wheelbarrow Tires here: http://amzn.to/2s0JPcw - 2 x 1/4" bolts, 1 1/2" length - 2 x 1/4" fender washers - 1 foot length (or so) of 1/2" copper pipe (I had some lying around) Removing the original wheels is simple. Just one bolt and the axle is exposed. Because the new wheel is 5/8" bore and the axle is 1/2", you'll need to cut a length of copper pipe to slide over the original axle. Also slide on one of the black spacers that comes with the new wheels. I used the 1/2" width spacer and it was enough to prevent the wheel from rubbing. Because the new wheels are wider than the original wheels, the copper pipe will need to be about 1 inch longer to extend the axle. To help with this, I used one of the nylon bushings that came with the wheel inside the copper pipe. Slide the wheel on the copper pipe and use the new 1 1/2" length screws with washer. That's it. The photos are probably easier to understand. Enjoy!
