Making a trash hauler out of an old vintage seed spreader

Grandkids and I went shipping today to the thrift stores, we were just out killing time and I also have been on the look out for something that I could make over.  We go camping quite a bit and we are always a long ways away from the campsites trash cans.  So I wanted to get something vintage that I could work over and make my own.  So grandson took the extra metal strip to make the blades move off and then we removed the blades inside the spreader...now we will place a metal strip over the axles and make it safe for little fingers to reach the garbage sack.

The color of our 1967 vintage Bell camper is sunburst yellow by rustoleum.  I love, love, love the color.  So I after washing the spreader and giving it a good scrub.  I am now painting with a brush.  This will take at least 3 coats of paint.

So finished painting used rustoleum sunburst yellow and silver...touch upped with rustoleum black. Added a plastic bin that can be taken out and washed lined with garbage bag.  As the bag gets full just pull up the edges and then wheel over to the dumpster.  Which for some reason is always across the campsite park from where we always tend to park.
 Daughter made me the sign and named it after our 1967 vintage Bell camper.  So now she is all shiny and ready to go to work for us out camping.
