Father in law has a decent looking David Bradley running gear and hoist with a metal flare side wagon back in the trees. I'm going to pull it out and do something with it as it seems too good to just leave back there and rot. The tires are decent looking but I don't know if they'd hold air. I've never been around these wagons.
First question, what are the minimum requirements in terms of tires (# of ply, etc)? The one I could see had a size of 205/70R15. I'd probably put corn in it and haul it to town with my farmall H just for fun once or twice a year. Is that enough of a tire for that weight? Probably going to get a good set of used tires since these are probably dry rotted.
Secondly, there is no floor in it. The wood is gone. By the mark along the bottom of the metal sides, it looks as it might have been 2 inch? Does that sound right? Probably want tongue and groove? What kind of wood? What can I coat it with when I'm done?
Lastly, anything special to do with that hoist before using it? Who knows how long it has been since it was last used.
