Alemite handicart

[bbbarracuda]

A local auction has this listed. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it display item? I see the hooks on the handle like perhaps held a sign?
Or any info would be appreciated. My google skills can't find anything about the model number or Alemite handicart.
Thanks!

L O L!

I knew that 1st post was going to attract some predatory tool buffs.

Congrats Don, looking forward to the finished results.

 

[don long]

Thanks
It should be coming any day now

I just received the handy cart yesterday. The auction house didn't want to ship it very bad. They disassembled it and put all the fasteners in a baggy and then taped the baggy to the bottom of the box (I was lucky to discover it) It will be a fun project to restore and a project finding all the correct guns for it.

I have a few laying around that may go to your cart. When you get to that point, let me know and I will show you.

 

[bbbarracuda]

Glad you finally got it. Looking forward to seeing your restoration.

I started searching for the brackets that hold the grease guns on the cart and came across these adds (a special thanks to Damon)





They are a lot of help in knowing what the cart should look like when I'm finished with it.
The biggest problem is the holding brackets. I think that a 3D printer may be the solution.
It looks like there are 13 different guns on the list of names. I don't see how the cart can hold that many?

 

[don long]

I also found this for sale




It is very expensive

 

[bbbarracuda]

At least a good picture to reproduce from.

Looking forward to seeing this project get worked on . If don long starts a thread , hopefully he’ll link it to this thread too.

Don, I suspect that the sign can not remain expensive for too long: there are very few carts left considering nobody posted picture of theirs. On top of it there is a good change that the signs are still attached to few carts remaining. In the absence of the carts which need this sign and interest in it (because it's less likely somebody will buy a random cart sign for no reason for a lot of money), I suspect the price will drop fast. If you want the original, just wait. You can also e-mail a person my argument and see if he gets back to you in 2 weeks after there are no offers...

...I wish your place was closer to my house - would be great to see it in person!

This project is far from dead

I have the start on the brackets that hold the grease guns.
The 3d printer was the answer. Here is the model of the bracket that I will use to cast them in aluminum



Here is the picture that we used to get the bracket made



I'll start its own thread when I start the restoration on the cart.

 

[OldNeons]

Very cool rack - I look forward to following the progress of the restoration Don!

That cart is on my bench waiting while I get the parts rounded up for it. I will be working on it next week I think.
I will start it's own thread when I do.

 

[don long]

I got another grease gun for my cart today and I now have the hangers figured out for them so I will be starting work on the cart on monday
