Threaded Rod As A Wheelbarrow Axle?

[Oren]

I don't know the diameter of rebar, but it's a moot point now.

It is moot. I read you final solution.

I ground my old axle down to 5/8” and the wheelbarrow is ready to roll.

....now get to work <wink>

I'd be curious if a piece of rebar would work.

Would be strong enough, but not anywhere CLOSE to a smooth round.

Just go to your local Yractor Supply (TSC) and buy a bolt the right
size. By the pound fasteners.

Rebar and all thread rod are designed for tension loads and are not
strong when it comes to side loads. Being bendable makes the stuff very
useful like using it to make hangers and U-bolts on the job. ^_^
