Default new and improved garden wagon build

I picked up this garden wagon last weekend, its the right size to pull by hand or pull it with a garden tractor. It has a few things to address like bad paint, bad welds and the front tires are too small. The cool thing about it is the floating lawn tractor front axle but it is to narrow and the trailer will tip on the front two corners. I cut apart the axle mount and replaced the front axle with a spare 82 series cub axle. That was too heavy and would add to much weight, so I built one out of tube steel and reused the spindels and bushings. The steering was improved using two tie rods connecting to the short tung section. The tires were upgraded to four 16x6.5x8 front garden tractor wheels. I will keep updating as I build.
