I read through a few threads and did some googling but as usual I now have more random facts in my head and less actual information!

I'm thinking the board will automatically fix some of these pics, which are huge... if not, my apologies...

The identifcation tag, on the back of the rear axle.

Knowles used W-prefixes in front of their model numbers, and the hitch and I-beam construction certainly look like one of their products. Knowles built wagon gears for Gehl, too.
 
Looks a lot like a light Gehl running gear with the
I beam and the queen pin set up. The reason I say a
light Gehl is the five bolt hubs....
 
I'm thinking Knowles as well. If it were Gehl (built by Knowles) the black would be a creamy white.

Pure guess here.... There was a Columbus wagon gear made in Anoka MN in the 1950's. They used the I beams and I think the hubs did not fit normal 5 bolt implement wheels, but rather some auto wheels. I recall one off brand fitting up with Jeep wheels with the large hub opening. Do your hubs fit standard 5 bolt implement wheels?

Just food for thought....
