Thought I would throw in my hay wagon rebuild from this summer. I picked this "Electric ...." wagon running gear for $150 with froze spindles. I ended up splitting the spindle housings with 4 1/2" angle grinder and cut-off wheel. Then cleaning up the spindle shaft , then rewelding the spindle housing . Straightened the tierod , lengthened the wagon to 16' , it is my intention to use for hayrides .

Nice job. Did you paint the tractor too? I don't see any decals on it. Is it a WD?

Thanks, yes it's a WD . Been working on restoring it for about a year now. I painted the wagon first , then
the tractor . I still have the fenders, rear hitch and loader to paint

My hay wagon is an old David Bradley sold by Sears and Roebuck... 1950's.

does you wagon have spoke rims. I have a Sears wagon that has spoke rims but I can not remove hubs. The hubs have peru on them with two slots on front. any help

will be greatly appreciated

ACBilly---what size tires did you put on that? It has a nice low-boy look to it. Really good job.

I have the same Peru hubs on an old Sears running gear. The cast Peru marked hub cap just threads off. Put a drift pin against the side of the slot and tap with a hammer in order to break the hub loose. Inside is conventional tapered roller bearing arrangement with slotted nut to adjust the bearings.

I've just recently taken mine apart. I didn't find any inboard wheel seals. I wonder if they had seals? Just O-rings in the grooves on the spindle shoulder?
