I purchased this wagon to use to place my chicken coop on to move around my property but would like to clean it up some and grease the bearings but not knowing anything about these how would I go about greasing them?

They just took the hubs off and packed with grease and put back on.

Are they wood bearings or some other type? I hate to get into one and it fall apart on me.

Check to see if the left side axle nut is left hand thread. Many of them were so the forward motion of the wheel would keep the nut tight.

That’s exactly what it was and they were just metal to metal and no bearing.
