[SEL] cart handle design

[Curt]

Steve,
An excellent suggestion you have made! I have eyed your locking system 
on several occasions and noted how it benefits the safety of the loading 
operation. Despite having a full 8' long tongue on my 8HP Famous, when 
it transitions from trailer to ramps one wheel always goes first and it 
is all my 190 pounds can do to stay planted as it wants to swing me to 
the side. That's a 4000# + engine with a large percentage of the weight 
on the front axle. Every time I load or unload this engine I swear I am 
going to add this feature to the cart.
