How's this for a way to recycle an old Fuchs wheel?
 
Putting this to a new use - no, I didn't inflict the curb rash, I got the wheel that way. I just cleaned it up a bit.
Sure beats the plastic thing we had from OSH...

You need a racing strip on that hose.

AWESOME:cool:

looks good, although the hose could use a respray!

No self respecting Fucher would leave that curb rash on the lips...break out the sandpaper :)! Cool idea...

Lovely! You should patent it! Picking up a brand new GT2 in no time.

sand_man 07-09-2008 11:39 AM
Yeah that hose is gross!

carnutzzz 07-09-2008 11:48 AM

Looks great, my son is working at OSH while going to college,
Those plastic hose reels are ugly.
Maybe i should have him make that hose reel available to the public (you would get royalties of course)

Great recycling effort!

The Phone dial wheels also make a nice BBQ grill. Lay flat and place a wire mesh inside and fill with charcoal. HarborFreight tools had them for $80 5 years ago.

you would need a locking lug in some neighborhoods.
how about an h1 porchlight too.

there is a very fine line between "cool re-use idea" and "you know your a redneck...."

i chose not to test the line.

You're a little late Markus. TRE has had a Fuchs hose wheel for quite some time now. They even relocated it to the new location.

Had a few for years:D building a bigger, better one:p

The one in the back ground has only been up for 8 years:eek:
