Parts for the Ox Cart

The farmer’s small ox cart needs a new part. We forged a part to keep the ox yoke securely connected to the cart shaft and prevent the tongue from sliding through the chain ring.

I made two copies of the part. Here they are alone on the ground. They look strangely graceful.
Here is the small ox cart.

This part will be attached using the existing bolt holes on the tongue of the cart shaft.

Small carts like this are used for general hauling of feed, straw, rocks, maple sap, and anything else that needs moving at the farm.
