With some eye bolts and chain, I used the tractor's lift to pick up the opposite end of the shed from where I had attached the trucks. Pretty light duty for the amount of weight involved, but it did it work. The trucks were simply some glued and screwed 2x4s, with a hole drilled for the axle, and the HF wheels mounted on either side. Nobody would mistake it for a high quality grinder, but the thing just works. Have cut and ground a fair amount of stuff with it. I picked up some 5/8" round stock from Home Depot to use as axles.Ĭutting the 5/8" bar stock with a HF grinder and cutoff wheel. I already had four of them at home that I used for carts, so I skipped the purchase and went with what I had. Well, maybe I can try it with the 10" wheels. Went down to my local Harbor Freight to pick up some of their 13" diameter wheels, but they only had three in stock. I decided to build a pair of trucks to attach to one end of the shed's bottom, so it could be pulled like a trailer with the tractor. It needed to be moved about 60 yards up a modestly steep hill. Lifting one end of the shed and pulling it was also no problem.
Getting a farm jack under it to lift it off the foundation blocks was no problem. We built it as a family project, so it has some sentimental value as well. I didn't want to demo it because it's still in excellent shape. Disassembling the shed was too labor intensive.
I had a project on my hands: Moving a shed we had built from a Costco kit six years ago, so it wouldn't be in the way of a bulldozer clearing trees and digging the new basement. Getting ready to have a foundation poured for our new house.
