I would take the tire off of hers and go to Lowes, Sutherlands, Wal Mart,
Etc. and see what you can find that will allow you to use her old tire.
Other than that, I dont know of anything else to do.

Good luck, Dwayne

Last summer I needed to borrow a wheelbarrow to haul some stuff around my
yard. My neighbor (elderly lady) loaned me her wheelbarrow, one of the old
fashioned tubular steel handled with the solid wheel type. Needless to
say,
while it was in my care the tubular steel crumpled up where it was bolted
to the tub. I need to get her a new one, and she has indicated that she
wants one like that, she does not want a garden cart or anything else. But
the most important thing is she does *NOT* want an inflatable tire, she
wants it solid.
Does anyone make the old fashioned steel tube wheelbarrows anymore? If
not,
I'll be forced to buy the smallest wooden handled one I can find, and
replace the wheel...
