Yup, that's the one I bought for the great daughters. A bit smaller and has the more common 10 inch wheels too.

I don't know that they are worth the money they cost. Now compared to a Radio Flyer, oh yeah, they're worth it. I think they are way overrated as far as weight. Mine rated at 1000lbs? NOooooooo, I think not. I did have a small block motor on mine and it begged for mercy and I doubt it could have done big block or motor and trans combo. $80 for that one like Old77 posted up, probably isn't bad. The air up tires are great for when you want to cross the lawn or drag thru a dirt road like a Pull A Part, but I think I'd keep the weight under about 300-400lb when I beleive those ones are rated at 600lb.

I just saw an awesome cart today at work. One of the tenants of our building is a commercial building roofing company. They got these cars that look like yours on steroids. Look like a 3 x 6 platform with big ATV sized tires. I guess they use them on the roofs after they hoist up material with their boom truck. You know the rubber roofs with the river stones on top?

Now that sounds like one that will really hold 1000 lbs. One you could set and engine and trans combo on and wheel it across your lawn with an ATV or Lawn Tractor.

So, since it's been brought up lately. Few more toy pics and recommendations.
This is my Cooling system pressure tester. Awesome tool to have for looking for leaks and even detecting blow head gaskets. If pressure is rising rapidly, then it's a good assumption that compression may be leaking into your cooling system. This one is outdated being most systems don't have a radiator cap anymore and are sealed, but it does still work for Squarebodies that have REAL radiators. The other part is an adapter. I recently used this to test that used heater core before I installed it. Hooked it up the heater hoses outside the heater box, and pressure tested. Didn't lose pressure, Core never got wet, so I knew it was a good one.

I got one of them too.
I will go through some of the cases of tools that lie in the garage and show off sometime.
I lost my damn camera cable so I am out of commission right now.

Next, One of those things most of us would rarely use. I used it alot for testing Vac Modulators on Transmissions and Testing EGR valves for Emissions testing when I was a Cali Test and Repair Tech. I recently used this to test my Vac Diaphrams on the K1500 Air Distributor to try and figure out why the Blend door to the defrost isn't working. It's not the diaghram. That's good.
This is a better kit. It can also be used to bleed brakes by yourself with the Cup and the flow thru lid adapter. You can get this in plastic too, but the aluminum one is better of course, and you do pay for it. This is also a rebuildable unit. You can take it apart and replace the rubber seals and spring inside it. This thing is probably 25 years old now and so is the Stant Cooling System Tester. I bought these items brand new the same day.
You can actually still buy this kit, just newer style but the same kit at Advanced Auto for $68 and if you bought it yesterday, could have had 25% off, or today, got 20% off. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...utm_content=keywordless--storekeywordless--ad
When you have one of these, you'll acquire things to add to your kit as you use it. For example, I cut this piece of Vac tubing from a truck at PAP so I could use this line for testing the HVAC Vac diaphrams. All I do now is use the Mighty Vac adapter, and put it on the OEM hose, and use the OEM connector and can test my HVAC diaphrams, no problem.
