Cow Dung Carrying Vehicle

We have few cows, a buffalow and a calf. Sometimes, no helper is there to collect the dung and throw the same at the designated place. I make this vehicle so that even my kids, wife or mother can easily collect the dung and throw it at the Ghura (we call the place where we collect the dung). And I am happy that its usable for that purpose. And even my father uses it to carry wooden blocks for making fire (to get heat during the cold season in India).

I used my old abandoned childhood bicycle, abandone iron can (from our ice factory) to make it. Made of only scrap material.
