2-Wheeled "Parade Cart"
 ✖  |
I made this 2-wheeled "parade cart" just for fun. It bobs up and down and is a real crowd pleaser. The cart rides on a pair of 24-in. truck wheels and is painted white. The seat, big enough for two adults or three kids, bobs 18 in. up and down as the rig moves along due to an offset axle that rotates inside a larger pipe.
In parades, it's amusing to watch men run alongside it and lean over and look under it, trying to figure out how it works. It rides so easy you can't believe it, yet some people won't ride in it because they think they might get sick. We use a restored Oliver 550 tractor to pull it.
