Its been a long long time that l heard a man whistle while working. Its a sound of contentment and security. Last person l heard whistle while working on a project was my dad. I wish l did that more than cuss, worry and complain. Great video. More people should try whistling while working, its a great stress reliever. God bless.
I would guess the whistling came back after I got out of the automotive industry haha, I don’t even notice I’m doing it. I really appreciate this kind comment, thank you!
@@phillipa7595 the pipe that is attached to bottom of frame that the axle goes through is wider than frame. The wheel can’t go in far enough for the tire to rub. Good luck!!
Thanks!! The tires don’t have bearings I used the pvc under frame to make the axle easier to remove. Wheels do rotate easily without bearing though also. I actually think bearing would be a problem with the salt and sand unless sealed really well. Good luck!!
I appreciate your help, I'm on my way but I have questions. 1) what length are the 5/8 bolts? 2) the link you provided for the tires is no longer with a 1" diameter hole. If you could suggest a tire I am struggling to find a 1" diameter axle balloon tire. Thank you!
@@mgagnew are you referring to the bolts that hold the aluminum frame to the steel hitch frame? They are 2.5” x 5/16 bolts. You could make them longer and cut if needed. You also may want to file all exposed threads so the frame slides on a bit easier. I will try to update with a better link, thanks for letting me know!! Good luck!
@@mgagnew looks like the wheel axle diameter is .9”, that will work fine with a 3/4 axle shaft. That same link does have wheels that come with an axle and smaller size but the axle would be too short anyhow.
@@zekeshandles thank you , that is the wheel i bought the 0.9 diam axle, the steel conduit is available in 1/2" or 3/4" , the 3/4 OD is over 1" and the 1/2" OD is almost 1". what size conduit are you using? thanks
@@mgagnew I used galvanized 3/4 conduit for my build. It measures 7/8” OD. You may need to run to local hardware with a tape measure and see if they have anything with a thinner sidewall. I will try to find a wheel with a true 1” ID and update also. Thanks for the info.
@@zekeshandles Yes, I have a roughly 7/8 or 0.88 conduit. but the wheel at 0.9 roughly will not accept the conduit. I have to look for another axel I guess. where did you get your wheels, maybe I can change the wheel?
Oh thanks, Awesome! I do have a pretty cool winter project in mind, I will video and post for sure! Related to shark fishing, hope it works! It will be a bit before I get to it though.
I used 1/4 x 1 1/4” zinc lynch pins, they are holding up okay. I would probably go with stainless if done again. I just linked some stainless ones in the video description. Thanks for checking it out!
I’m looking at building one just like this. Picked up the cargo carrier today. I do have a question. Why did you decide to put the axle through the pvc vs u bolting it directly to frame? Is it so you can easily remove entire axle for transport/ storage?
The outer is 1” pvc and the conduit is 3/4”. It just needs to spin freely in the wheel so you may need a different size depending on the wheel you get. My wheels were 1” axles. Thanks!
I think the pvc was 24” total so it over hung the sides by half inch. The metal part of the axle I just put together and Estimated. I can measure in about a week if you need.
I looked up balloon wheels or beach wheels. There are a set of name brand used ones on there now that would be a good deal, I’ll try to send you a link.

Not sure what I’m more impressed with the built or that DeWalt drill !!
Hahaha thanks! That old girl is still going!
where did you buy the wheels and what's the payload on the tires.
Great video…Please post all the videos related to this build…
Very nice idea and build. This is fun to watch
Thank you!!!
Any issues with the tires rubbing? If not, think it would in the future with alot of use? Could easily put some stops in if so i guess. Great video!!
@@phillipa7595 the pipe that is attached to bottom of frame that the axle goes through is wider than frame. The wheel can’t go in far enough for the tire to rub. Good luck!!
Brilliant!
Does the tire not have bearings to spin freely on the 3/4” axel not requiring the pvc? Great series. Watched all three videos.
Thanks!! The tires don’t have bearings I used the pvc under frame to make the axle easier to remove. Wheels do rotate easily without bearing though also. I actually think bearing would be a problem with the salt and sand unless sealed really well. Good luck!!
Thank you for the reply.
Nice sand truck, I would weld a washer to the axle inside of the wheels to prevent them to touch the frame.
Hey thanks! No rubbing no worries the pvc section the axle rides in is just a little wider than frame. Thanks for checking it out!
very nice ideal ....thanks for sharing
Thanks! Hopefully more to come in the spring.
Great idea, well done!

hi where did you get the hitch holder for cart
@@JT-616 thanks! The cargo hitch carrier was from harbor freight.
@@zekeshandles Thanks for the reply.
Great job . Very good. From Brazil. 👍🇧🇷.
Wow! Thanks!!!
What size screws did you use to make the cart removable from the steel hitch? I didn’t see them in the parts list.
5/16” x 1 1/2” they worked pretty well, I might suggest grunge the threads down a bit more where they slide in they sometimes hang up a bit. Good luck
@@zekeshandles thanks for the reply! Much appreciate it
Super thanks for the video brother
You’re welcome, thanks for checking it out!
@@zekeshandles Genius
I hope you do more projects and video them.
Oh thanks, Awesome! I do have a pretty cool winter project in mind, I will video and post for sure! Related to shark fishing, hope it works! It will be a bit before I get to it though.
@@zekeshandles Great.
What size clip pins are que using as wheel
Stopper??

Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah the axle needs to come out so it is out of the way when attached to the car hitch. Major shin hazard haha!
What tires are those and where is the best place to get those tires?
I purchased these tires used through eBay. I would suggest searching (balloon beach tires) on Amazon, last I checked some good options were available.
Well done. What wheels did you use?
Thanks! I haven’t found a brand on them, I purchased used on eBay.
What size axel and conduit did you use?
The outer is 1” pvc and the conduit is 3/4”. It just needs to spin freely in the wheel so you may need a different size depending on the wheel you get. My wheels were 1” axles. Thanks!
How long did your axle rod need to be for the tires to clear the sides of the carrier?
I think the pvc was 24” total so it over hung the sides by half inch. The metal part of the axle I just put together and Estimated. I can measure in about a week if you need.
Where did you get your tires?
Never mind. I saw your other replies. Thanks for the video
@@andrewcombs9312 hey thanks! Last I checked it looked like Amazon had a lot more options now than in the past also. Good luck
You are already at a disadvantage using zinc hardware if you are taking that thing to a real beach.
True but for the price it will take several years to rust through. Has held up pretty well so far. Thanks for checking out the video!
Sharpenyourdrillbits
Definitely need sharpened! I do the overheat them until they melt the material technique lol
what keywords did you use to find the wheels on ebay?
I looked up balloon wheels or beach wheels. There are a set of name brand used ones on there now that would be a good deal, I’ll try to send you a link.
www.ebay.com/itm/354350889802?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=D1eebnM4SiO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=n0FbN9TwSqS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I have no affiliation with this seller but probably a decent option.
@@zekeshandles thanks!
