Been busy lately

Figured I let ya'll see what I have been up to lately, been working on fixing my wagons and getting a 9N ready to sell. The wagons I got just after hurting my back and figured I'd let the wagons do my packing and leave the back alone.
At the Az. property I have about 4 that needed repairs and a couple at the house that needed new tires and the undercarriages fixed. I have some parts to other gizmos and wagon parts so after fixing 4 wagons with up graded tires and other fixins, I took the parts from 6 other wagons and carts and put together my own go to swap-meets wagon.
One was a Davey Crocket wagon the I swapped the undercarriage on it with a red wagon tub, and took the red ones undercarriage and modified it took the parts from a dual rear wheel parts wagon & the Davey tub along with the rails to a town and country radio flyer, and wheels from two garden green and yellow garden carts to make the following in the pictures below.

Way cool Charles! Only thing it's missing is a couple "Deere" decals! Love the rear mounted spare tire!

VERY nice Charles ! .

I always get a kick out of seeing the various wagons at the Auto Jumbles .

I hope your back is O.K. , not much fun , back pain .

Please tell Veronica we said ' hello ! ' .

 

Thanks Ken,I have some deere decals just didn't get them on. I have it in pieces again fixing the rear axles. as soon as I get it fixed I will repaint and put the decals on it.

Thanks Nate,
I'm doing a redo on it the rear axle was not working and I have decals to also put on it. I still have a couple wagons to fix they were really getting beat up and it was time to fix-em.
The back is starting to act up again it has been about 9 years since they did the fission on the lower and 7yrs. on the neck I need to slow down some or buy more wagons.

Nice work, Charles! When I saw "wagons", that wasn't what I had in mind.

 

Thanks Paul,

I re-did somethings on it just finished today on the items. the rear had some issues, the handle was chipping the paint off where it touched the wagon tub or at the rails, and I needed to put on the decals. it is going to take me two days to put away all the tools I have out in the backyard under the canopies. Here are a couple of photos of it now.

Saying hello !

The cart is a nice build Charles and as a John Deere tractor junky i am very pleased with the collors . Now that is said i ll hope your back gets in shape again and i wish you all the best of luck selling the carts. Kids just love them.

Thanks fore sharing Martinius.

 

Turned out fantastic! I love the photo with the flowers in the background. I can just imagine a happy little kid setting in that waiting for a ride!

 

Are the rear axles pivoting? Looks pretty cool. A friend makes lowrider/rat wagons from castoffs, then sells them faster than he can make them at the car shows.

 

This is great! Awesome work!

 

Thanks Martinius,

I'm not selling any carts, they were just to I had that donated wheels for this one, it is my go to Swap Meet wagon or Virginia's I also have my Hamilton Jeep wagon that my get repainted soon. The rusty one in the photo below is anothe project on hold.

Thanks Paul,

Mixing all those wagon parts was a chore because some of them had mistakes in them from modifications the other owners had made and I did not see it until I put it together the first time. For now it will do as my go to Swap Meet wagon, It is very hard for me to sell any of the wagons they are my back savers. This one would have to have been painted better to sell to many runs in the paint.

Charles

 

Thanks Russ,

Yes the rears do pivot, the rear axles came off a wagon I bought some time back that had a China stamped tub on it that just did not look good, it was loop sided and the front either sat high or really low depending on how you had the axles sit and I really did not like it. So when i started redoing the others I figured I'd change it and the tub when to the desert with the Davey Crocket re-done undercarriage, and it's the axles went to this one. Do you by chance have a address for the friend that builds the custom wagons?

Charles

 

Thanks Brian,

You need something like that for Jr.

Cool Wagons

I dig 'em all .

Lotta hard work and details that I can see Charles .

I remember once in about 1968 when our '37 Jhonny - Popper Model 'B' snapped off a wrist pin and broke a large hole on the side of the cylinder wall ,during haying ~ that was a mess to say the least but , we still drove it back to the barn several miles away and the local J-D Dealer had every part we needed , on the shlef , cheaply .

We used the Model 'A' for the rest of the haying (didja know ? a 1935 hay bailer makes 1/3 size bales, much easier to load) and had the 'B' fixed in a few days after getting the parts in .

You oughta show some pix of the tractor you're selling , someone here might want it .

 

Here are some photos of the tractors I will be selling soon.

 

Took the wagon to the Saugus Swap Meet Sunday and caused some guys that had just bought some nice wagons to look for upgrades.
After getting home I was doing some yard work and seen a wagon I had loaded some potted plants into some years ago and for got them. After getting the potted plants out of it I started to cleanup the rust in the bottom and figured it would be the next project. Below are some shots of it and some shots of it after I dismantled it and was looking for ideas.The last two photos are off the web but great ideas.

 

I love the slammed look!!! It's a Russ kinda wagon! Are you going to bag it so you can adjust the ride level?

 

That is funny, putting bags on one. I was looking at more the last photo look or one with the Good Wrench tires on it but maybe.
