I have been looking at garden carts for a while now,, but could not find one that I liked,, SO I decided to build my own,, With electric dump capabilities.. I drew up my plans and went to work,, below is the results..

In this picture you can see the winch,, I connected the cable to the back of my lift mechanism, then ran about 6 loops around the winch hub, then to a pulley behind and below the winch, back to the front of the tongue threw another pulley and back to the front of the lift mechanism,, so the winch lifts and returns the dump box.. Lo and behold,, It works pretty darn good

One more, The tail gate is spring loaded

please ignore my ugly welding,, It's not pretty but it's holding
