OK, I am sorry if I posted this in attachments also. This may have been a better spot.
I got this when I went to pick up a newer wagon a couple years ago...saw it in the weeds and threw it on top of the main wagon for a few more bucks. Now I am finally getting around to fixing it. I am not looking for original...just running! I may use it to haul kids around on hay rides (less likely) or as the base to a roadside stand for my children's crops (more likely). I got lucky and replaced the main spread pipe with on old oil line pipe I had-and it was heavier than original anyway. I still need to do a lot of little fix-it welds and some minor straightening of some parts.
Now for the questions:
1) What make is it? any idea on the years they made these? The guy I got it from thought it might be an old New Idea running gear...but was not sure.
2) Any idea where I can get parts? Primarily I need bearings for the front. I am sure the rears are bad but at least they are intact and turn...I can deal with that (lots of grease over and over!). I doubt I will ever take this on any extended trips...just to the road-barn-and back. But I would like to not be grinding old metal on old metal.
Any help/details would be greatly appreciated. I thought this might be a better spot than the AG section but let me know if you think I should move this (not sure I know how though).
Thanks for all your help.
