We have gone through a lot of wheelbarrows here. For my last poly one, I replaced the painted steel handles which were the first thing to go, with some galvanized square stock in the same dimensions from Hilo steel works. I replaced the bolts with stainless steel versions. And added large fender washers to hold on the plastic tub. The axle brackets and front brackets and the tub itself finally gave out. Bought a new wheelbarrow and reassembled it with the stainless bolts and washers and gave all the metal a coat of auto undercoating before assembling it. We’ll see how that goes. When the metal handles rust out, I’ve still got the galvanized from the last one.
