Alright guys, got another question. I know some of you have a Massey dump cart. I just acquired one and it is in terrific shape other then a couple of items that have been poorly repaired. One is the bottom tongue plate, which I can easily fix with just some time and a couple pieces of steel. The other is the latch assembly. I don't know what they had going on with what they did but I know it isn't right. Problem is I don't know what it is supposed to be.
So if you have pictures or have a dump cart can you please take some pictures of the latch assembly for me and post them? I know it won't be original but I would like to get it as close as possible.
Anyone have pictures of the latch assembly on a Massey dump cart?

I don't have a Massey dump cart but I do have some info on them in one of my manuals. I will look this morning and see how extensive the break down is in the manual. If it's worth using I will scan it and upload it. Post it to this thread and upload to the manuals section.

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to try and work on the cart here soon since I would like to take it to shows. Here are some pics of it to show how solid it is and it's overall condition minus the couple of poor fixes.

Here's a front view of one. Hope it helps.

Judging by the parts breakout and that picture it seems the latch is just a piece of steel bent with e lip to latch and a part to get a finger in to pull it. I wonder if it is spring steel or if regular flat stock would work?
