HobbsTrue Temper Wheelbarrow Parts
Purchased a True Temper Silver Max (C6STGLW25) 6 cu. ft. wheelbarrow about 10 years ago from Lowe's. The bracket down in front of the wheel that attaches to the handles has rusted through. Called True Temper ...
Me: Hi, I'm calling about parts availability for a wheelbarrow.
Gal: We don't sell parts direct to the public. If it's not a warranty issue, contact who the item was purchased from and if they don't have the part, they can order it from us.
Me: Okay ... can you give me a part number?
Gal: Sure
Me: (provided model#, where and when purchased) When you stand the wheel barrow up on the wheel end, the bracket I need is the only part of the wheelbarrow touching the ground.
Gal: There is a "Wheel Guard" that attaches to the handles.
Me: That's it.
Gal: We can send that to you. Please allow 7-10 days.
Me: (gives mail info) Thank you very much !!! Have a Great day, bye.
So, a shout out for True Temper. The wheelbarrow has a 15 year warranty but I don't still have a receipt from 10-12 years ago when purchased from Lowe's. Maybe I got the right gal on the phone or called at the right time, but it's a WIN !!!

frayedendsI bought a 2 wheel wheelbarrow from them this spring and the plastic bin cracked after just 2 uses. I contacted them and they sent me a new one free after I sent pictures. Good customer service.

signewtI had a marvelous short story compiled about my own wheel barrow collection.
One is the double wheeled Maroon & Grey True Temper model, going on 10 years old; very stable & easy for geezerChores as it doesn't fall over & the tub, while dented from firewood, is in the 'barely thick enough to not fail badly and turn into scrap' phase;
One is a plastic tub econo-contractors model that fell off a truck on the highway; now 20+ years old. It has serious cracks & loss of tub wall material; Handles like a sport car, light & pleasant yet barely qualifies now as a keeper; used for temporary storage of bush beans while we pick the pods off.
My prize, "Old Strain" is a vintage "contractor model" given to me in 1957 as a birthday present by my dad. It's mixed/moved considerable wet concrete in its now-60+ year service life....
It remains in occasional use when a heavy REAL bit of steel tub sturdiness is needed. Have to pump up the tire ever few years now.

HobbsHoly smoke signewt !!! 60+ years and original owner of wheelbarrow. WoWser.
Don't think my True Temper will go 60 years but who knows, I won't be around to see it. What sold me on this True Temper Silver Max is the no-flat tire. Alls I know is that I'll NEVER have to air it up. It's a grab and go wheelbarrow.
The barrow bucket sits on wooden risers and I suspect those will be next to go but in a while yet. Wish it had poly risers and that's what I'll try to get when the time comes. The handles are steel and will likely be the last thing left.

HobbsJust a darn shame my shed (circa 1945) isn't large enough to store my wheelbarrow inside. Well, too much stuff and something had to stay outside anyway.

henryaz Probably made by Jackson. My Ace branded wheelbarrow is a Jackson.
