Rescue work with muscle and steel.  What is that thing?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
This ancient looking horse or ox cart looks like it was used to built a pyramid in Egypt<\/div>\n
or to haul rubble away from Tutankamen\u2019s tomb.   Truth is it was built from bits and <\/div>\n
pieces for a movie set  where we bought it not knowing that should we fail to movie it<\/div>\n
there would be a $500 charge as a dumping fee.  That shook me\u2026shocked me to the<\/div>\n
core.  Thankfully our son came to the rescue with his big truck.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The wheels and axle are very old indeed.    so large and heavy that only the bobcat<\/div>\n
could lift them.  When built originally? Not from the pyramid building time but certainly from<\/div>\n
the early 19th century.  Huge wooden hubs made when wagon building was a  skilled carpenter\u2019s<\/div>\n
project.   <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
So the cart will have a happy future I hope.  First a pair of shafts have<\/div>\n
to be attached and the cart must be stored In a barn or drive shed. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Just getting it to our farm was a balancing act worthy of a thightrope walker as<\/div>\n
you can see.  Feather balanced.  What does that mean?  It means if a feather was<\/div>\n
added to the load then the cart would fall and like Humpty Dumpty never to be<\/div>\n
put together again.  An overstatement.  But I did have to be very careful.<\/div>\n
