Default Harbor Freight Green House

Did a little Honey Do Project the last couple days.
Picked up a Harbor Freight green house. Didn’t feel like dealing with the crappy weather and wind trying to put it together so I decided to assemble it in the shop. Knowing that it would be a PITA to move I came up with a set of wheels for it. I had a set of JD wheels, a pair of axles for a 71 and some 1” ID. tube that fits nicely inside 1.25” pipe. Picked up a 10’ long 1.25” pipe and made a quick and dirty axle. The Cub axles just happen to be 1” OD. Took a hole saw to the 2X6’s for the base for the axle and we now have a green house on wheels. I’ll get some better pics of it tomorrow when I tow it out side.

Just a word of caution if you decide to buy one of these things, the directions SUCK.

Thats totally cool!!! I like the wheels do you think it will be strong enough to ever move twice if you ever wanted to? Guess it would be better to ask how sturdy is it?

Guys the wheels will handle it with no problem it only weighs about 130 lbs. It was kind of fitting to use wheels from a "Green Thing" for a green house. Hope to get a pic of it tomorrow being hauled by the 121 that I just put the rear lift on.

Looks like a quality structure , looks as you probably have to build your own shelves or maybe you want to grow a taller green plant.
I hear they are selling good in Colorado.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
