You could have an easier time setting it up with the cart in front como los triciclos Mexicanos:

Just weld on a good wide axle to carry a pair of roadworthy wheels and get rid of the cart's
existing wheels. Wheelbarrow wheels are applicable and cheap; most of them have rims with 3/4"
bearings built

You'll have to bungle up a bike frame so that the head tube is vertical or leaning slightly away
from the rider, so that the bike won't lean to the outside in turns.
Mounting a cart on the back of a bike would require major surgery to the cart and might not yield
much weight carrying capacity other than the cart itself.
Rear mounting would be better if the cart were converted to a trailer, but it would still need more
roadworthy wheels. There are a few ways to hitch a bike trailer and you should examine some closely
if you wish to pursue that option. It would be easy to damage your bike's frame with the haphazard
mounting of a trailer the size of what you propose.
