#1 wagon

Post by Klapatta »

Well I have this old wagon rolling around on it's own two feet now. Pretty good too.

I'll never know why somebody did this. They look like snow thrower wheels maybe. Anyhow massive fail for sure. Not even the right hub size.

Someone probably needed wheels for an 'O' I guess.
I took a couple of old wheel barrel wheels and bushed them and sleeved the axles. Not correct but It's gonna have to do for now.

Can anyone here provide an image of what this tongue is supposed to look like? I need to straighten this mess out :oops:

Thanks guys. The tongue on this trailer has sustained it's share of serious damage over the years. I intend to place this into light to medium duty service around the property and driveway.

I'm going to pass with the welding on this and fabricate a mounting plate that makes use of the five existing holes without undergoing through any additional modification. I think that it has seen more than it's share of that. :roll:

Golly, Ken- if you send that over my way, I'd make that look like it was brand new... save for the paint... you're better at painting than me... :beer:

I probably should have taken a bit more time and thought about this a little better. In the end it did not matter anyway.
I did not like the way the tongue was resting on the hitch plate. I decided to add on a extended length.
It fits inside the tongue like a glove. The tongue is now sandwiched together. And now the assembly rests firmly on the hitch plate. Also I have gained an additional 6 inches of swing too.

It's really time for me to start moving into mounting the snow thrower now-

One of our members has asked me to take sizes for the corner stake pockets. I'm attaching photos.

The bracket is 3/16" x 1" mild steel. it appears to be cad coated.

So this is the first time actually pulling the wagon around with something. I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

Whoever came up with the idea for this pull back chain really had their thinking cap on. It sure comes in handy.
