Converting an Ames brand Planters Wagon

Shaft attachment detail..Shows the six phillips head screws that must be removed to take off the original handle. Remove the screws, pull the handle off, remove the rod that secures the handle and transfer it to your shaft assembly. Then all you have to do is put the shaft assembly, with the rod in place, back on the wagon and reinsert the six screws. I made 1 inch spacer beads, for added stability, which you can see just inside the shafts. To make the spacers, I drilled a hole down the center of a piece of closet rod doweling, then cut off a 1 inch length and sanded off the rough edges.
