Coco needs a new Wheelchair
My wife and I stopped by to visit with Coco in October, and noticed his wheelchair was falling apart. If anyone has an unused wheelchair, is going by
Coco's Corner, and has room for it in their rig he would really appreciate it. It would certainly bring a few beers and some interesting stories from
him.

For Chuckie
I believe there is the one wheelchair Coco may be able to help you with chukie - perhaps you also know someone less fortunate, someone you could help
out.
The front wheels from the older chair had to be fitted onto the new chair as the new front wheels were too narrow for much use in dirt. Also the large
rear wheels have no rubber left on them, maybe you could, out a wonderful sense of kindness find new rear wheels for whomever you will be donating the
older chair to. You appear to be a generous, thoughtful, and kind person.
I truly hope that your comments were not meant to mock the kindness of TW.

John,
Well said.
Chuckie spouts off like that thinking he is clever....life on the Kansas plains can do that to a guy... 
Coco's environment is not suitable for the average wheelchair....and the sooperdooper high-tech ones suggested over the years are simply impractical.
He will likely continue to use up the used ones he gets...as he has over the past 8 years or so.

Sounds like a project for an engineer with some fat bicycle tires and low gears.

here...

The last two wheelchairs I've taken him were new off Ebay fitted with wider wheels. I didn't have the wide front wheels with this last chair so we
put the old ones on. I now have a set of wide front wheels but will wait until he needs another chair.
