Very nice job. Your main box beams look strong enough that you could carry an elephant. And I like the small touches - the steps up to the buckboard seat. I made a farm wagon a couple years ago. You had a lot of fun with this project didn't you?

It was fun. I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Not sure if you can see in the pics but each carriage bolt head is painted yellow. Looks really cool.

Thanks

Very nice!

Can you share some info on the mechanical details? Especially the steerable front axle and how you attached the axles to the frame. Thanks.

It appears to be built on haywagon type running gear. Here is a new version of that running gear: E-Z Trail Running Gears | E-Z Trail Farm Wagons - Arthur, IL

Wish I could take credit for the wagon fabrication. It was pretty much built when I bought it. I just disassembled and painted everything and made a few modifications. The running gear is like nothing I have ever seen. Definitely nothing store bought, seems to be mostly hand made. This is what it looked like before I started.

Love the color of the car in the garage on the left.
Coincidence , I'm thinking not !!

Yep, coincidence I had the garage open and coincidence I bought that little green Honda about 10 years ago.
