Helmbold Draft Cart
Gently used draft cart made by Fred Helmbold. It can be used for brace draft, though it is missing the doubletree needed for that purpose. There are three extra shafts to use for brace draft. It is made of red oak and has 18” hard rubber wheels. Some modifications were made to the cart by Melanie Koon, changing out simple pins holding the joints together for more durable lunch pins that do not fall out when repositioning or turning the cart over. Also two eye bolts were added to the shaft hardware for easy attachment of traces for single draft use. The cart can easily be broken down and put into the trunk of a small car for transport.
