Ironman, how long is your wagon? What kind of steering does it have?

It is 36" wide by 60" long. The front knuckles and spindles were from some old riding mower, and the tongue steers them like your standard hay wagon. The frame was fabbed from 1 1/4" x 1/8" steel angle. The bed is plywood covered with aluminum sheet from the side of an old camping trailer. Has stake bed sides about 18" high, made of 3/4" treated wood, when all four sides are removed it is open flat bed. The wheels and tires are the 10" jobs from Harbor freight. Rear axle is just apiece of 5/8" x 36" steel rod. Built about 18 years ago, still in great shape. I don't haul anything massively heavy in it but I don't think something like a couple automatic transmissions would be any problem. Hope that helps. |

Does it make a pretty good garden cart, too? I see that plastic cart with a monkey on it has an end that switches from hitch pin to handle.
Can you push it around the flat with a light load on it pretty easy? A few transmissions worth of scrap weight sounds perfect for my needs, or at least just enough to haul the rest of the donor carcasses off to become a new Toyota. I think I'll have 7/8 spindles, they should hold up to more than the 5/8, in theory. The more I think about it, if I use one front axle per wagon, I can build 2 sets of running gear. It sure would be nice to have a water wagon that I can plumb into my downspout or take down to the creek when it doesn't rain.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
