Decoy carts, revisited..........

Thought I'd build another post to build on the other cart thread.

Here's my 4-wheel jobber, a beast for sure but does the job in all types of ground. Carries 5 dozen loose DSD small dekes or 30 DSD honkers or 10 dozen

duck floaters..........

Blinds attach to top with bungees hooked to hooks on side. Gun rack and stake tube..........

I like your stake holder on the outside along with your gun rack. Right now I'm using a bucket inside the cart and it's a pain.

Yeah its a pretty slick idea (not mine) so I added another on

the other side to facilitate carrying a lot of stakes __________________

Are the sides just plywood? The end panel looks sort of warped like a flexible thin plastic sheet but it also looks blistered like a delaminating sheet of plywood. You just push/pull those loop style gate handles? What do you guys use for axles to attach bike wheels like that? Pretty cool, I don't need anything that huge but I can see how it would be useful for someone taking out big goose spreads or BIG ducks spreads for that matter.

Doh I see in the second pic it's a see through mesh of some sort. So just a fabric over a metal frame? __________________"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." — Dr. Seuss"Who is Rich?

Thin plywood, the fabric is a sort of a thick cordura, durable as hell, all around a metal frame.

We push this cart with ease, rolls nice. Axle is solid metal rod, 1/2" I think. __________________

Here's the North Speck:

Here's the cart with the fiberglass tub, I added some gun racks to the handles.

Page 9: Decoy Cart

Here's the nut that you loosen up that then releases the whole piece in the third pic:

Page 10: Decoy Cart
Page 11: Decoy Cart

The fork then just spins into the tub that's cut to fit the moving fork.

Page 12: Decoy Cart
Page 13: Decoy Cart

Its a nice cart, don't know if i'll use the tub, might replace it with a large otter sled as it fits well inside the cage. __________________

Dan, Nice set ups.

I remember the NorthSpecks when they first came out in the early 90's. They started at about $ 200.00 and a few years later were up to $ 1,000.00

Dave, I used a 3/4" round steel foundation stake for the axle on my modified firewood/log carrier with mortar tub and plastic outdoor end table (dog stand). You can push it with one finger. __________________CWA life memberDU member

That's a sweet cart. I love the BMX bike forks Looks like something that might tow easily behind a mountain bike __________________"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." — Dr. Seuss"Who is Rich?

We've used threaded rod for several carts at work but I was never really happy with them. I've always wanted to add little "stubs" higher off the sides of a tub for the wheels to attach and avoid a rod going cross the center of the cart. I guess getting all the weight up a little higher might make them handle better in the muck though. My Rubbermade works great but I wish it was more collapsible for the back of my rig. Takes up a lot of space that could be holding decoys, etc. __________________"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." — Dr. Seuss"Who is Rich?

edso, you may want to try Parker (the Hose & Fitting division) for that fitting. I deal with them regularly at work and they may just be able to accomodate you.
