double trees, yokes & parts

tongues, double trees & spreader bars

Oxbow Wagons & Carts

Pioneer equipment

Buggy

Used to have links for more, can't think of them right now...

A silver penny farm

thanks Paula. it is for a large mini wagon.

 

[paintponylvr]

Pioneer is a good one for that.

Who made the wagon? What type of running gear, tires and tongue hook up does it have?

Pics?

Al B might know of a good source as well. He does a lot of driving and has sources for things I don't have. Also, the Bryants - though I have't seen them on the forum much at all in the past year.

you might try my draft horse super store. I don't know what length your looking for. I think they have one that's 11ft.

Paula, it is a homemade wagon made by a friendfor me it has 16 inch wheels big fat ones. the wagon box measures 30 inches wide by 60 inches long. i will try to take a picture or two this afternoon.

I went to a local sawmill and got some oak 2x6's and made mine myself, with a lil bit of hardware from the hardware store. Mabe the friend that made the wagon can help you.

my friend is up to his ears in alligators, so i don't want to bother him, 2 x 6's ?? could you take a picture? i have thought about making it myself, i will think on it. thanks for the idea.

We have an aluminum team pole on our wagon. Purchased it from the metal dealer. I think it is 2x3. Strong and lightweight.

I will as soon as I get a breal in the weather. It's put up in an old shed out back for now, and I'll have to move a few things to get a decent picture. There's nothing to it really. The hardest thing is making the pole end match the conect to the wagon axle and everybody makes theirs diferant

 

[jeanniecogan]

diamond c, i sure would like it if i could make it. waiting for better weather, aren't we all!!!!!

 

[diamond c]

My father-in-law helped me (translation OVER KILL ) but thats the way it goes. Mine starts out at the wagon end 6" wide. Then just past the evener it starts to narrow to about 2" at the frant end. Making the conection to the wagon axle will probobly be the hardest part. He built mine stout enough to use for draft horses, but it made hime feel good and I don't ever have to worry about failing me and thats what matters. I'll try to get those pictures next week.

Can you post pics of what you got and how you have it hooked up to work? I'm always curious after someone asks for pointers/help on something how they acheived what they were asking about (that wrote up so convoluted!!)....

 

[jeanniecogan]
