I want to paint the wood black and thinking maybe sandblast the metal and paint Cat yellow, just for kicks. Maybe get some Caterpillar stickers
Being I work with metal, I would have grabbed 3 ft of 1 1/2" angle iron, cut it in half, drilled some holes and had the original handle back in operation in 30 minutes...
