Electric Tow Cart?

Can anyone direct me to the thread with the below pic and described the fabricated tow cart? I've searched and searched but no luck. I copied the pic from the post back in Dec 2014.
Thanks,
Jim

Hmm... I can't find that exact pic in a thread. It may not have been embedded anywhere, only uploaded to an album.

A few threads:

Thanks Zane. I thought sure I saw it on BCP. Oh well. I have some of the parts and will build something similar. I need the tug to push out as well as pull in with big tires for traction over gravel and turf.

For good deals on low voltage permanent magnet motors of a decent size go to :www.surpluscenter.com I've used them for years, a good outfit. When I was off grid (28 years) my table saw and other shop tool had DC motors from them.You can get everything else you need for that car there also.

Thanks courierguy. I see a 1/3 hp 12v motor, hope that's enough with geared down transmission I have for my super cub. B
