I think I've worked out what Junkman has in mind for his Radio Flyer...

Would that change if the only altered variable was the wheel size?

Obviously I hope it would, since it would give me yet another reason to point & laugh at the Max Power Radio Flyer...

That being said, I generally support the idea of fettling random wheeled conveyances.

I've got an old sack cart in my garden that needs some attention... hmmm...

I've absolutely no idea tbh, I'm assuming it might as the smaller wheels appear to have less offset.

I have done my bit for climate improvment today by getting the Thunderturd running and it completed it's first real journey in over 30 years. 35 trouble free miles so far, I am taking it to an American car show on Sunday so fingers crossed it stays trouble free. I was well impressed with Rock auto and fed ex, I ordered track rod ends on Wednesday afternoon and they arrived by 10 this morning.
