That's really awesome, I would have way more luck trying to mod a wheelbarrow than I would finding one of those around here.

very cool grill for sure.  The design on the red one is pretty poor how they connect the kettle to the frame of the wheelbarrel.  The yellow design from 1965 is far superior.

So is this red Ranger an early 70s vintage?

Thats what I was thinking. I saw a b&w pic of one in one of the catalogs on the other site some time back and it said "1973 Ranger". The ash catcher was shaped weird as well.
