Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to upload it to YT. She looks very confident behind the wheel.

Seat Relocation

Emilie and Lily are too short to sit in the seat and reach the pedals.

Today in the Dumpstertech Laboratory I removed the seat and developed a new mount.

Version 1 was not high enough. It was 1" square tube.

Version 2 is made from the frame rail of a lawn tractor. Perfect 3" height and the channel made for easy bolting to the seat rails and the frame.

Buford the lab assistant was there to test. I can now move the seat forward enough for them and back enough that I can still squeeze in there. Next is the new safety harness.

Nice work, as always.

Buford has a tough job, but somebody has got to do it.

At least she's young, and she'll heal quickly. Bruised elbows really smart!

It appears someone was collecting eggs with the buggy.

It survived 3 solid hours of riding tonight with 5 different kids. One reliable machine. Emilie also toted off some branches and a load of apples.
