ATV "Chariot" Great Family Fun
 ✖  |
Gerold Brunken, Tower Hill, Ill., really didn't start out to build a two-wheeled, Roman-style chariot. He just happened to have some good used parts lying around, and one day he saw them as the makings for the project. He pulls the chariot behind his Honda 4-wheeler.
"I use it to give rides to my grand kids and anyone else who wants to go for a spin. It's fun to ride in," says Brunken.
He used an axle and springs from a 2,000-lb. utility trailer and sheet metal welded to a home-built frame. The seat is from a school bus and has a tractor umbrella over it that mounts on a pair of armrests. The rider is protected from any rocks thrown by the ATV's tires by a 2-ft. high metal kickboard. Sheet metal was used to make the fenders and an old pipe was used to form the tongue, which has a ball hitch on it.
