Parts for a JD953 Hay wagon

Wildride47 · Jan 24, 2018

I need some help finding a few stray parts for an old wagon I’d like to put back together and use for moving the bee hives and some lite hay chores. The wagon is in good shape but the old bolsters are pretty shot. They are no longer available from the dealer and I’m hoping someone could point me in the right direction where I can find salvage parts or recommend a replacement method that will attach to the gear and support a nice oak deck.

Starting with the mounting brackets, you could have a welder fabricate some. I've done that on a couple.

I’ve thought about purchasing box tubing and fabricating something. That could become a time consuming process as I outdone have to do the cutting with a demo saw (sawzall)

Where are you? I've seen some hay wagons at a local salvage yard near Waterloo, IA.

We are just south of Grand Rapids Michigan

Wow, did I ever read you wrong. I read hay wagon and my mind immediately went to the stack wagon, model 100, 200 or 300. Now I realize you were after parts for a wagon running gear. So, it really doesn't matter how far it is from Grand Rapids to Waterloo. No wonder I couldn't figure out what you meant by a "bolster" on a stack wagon.

I have fabricated bolsters out of 2x4 box beams with good results. Do you still have the remains of the old bolsters? The brackets in the center of the old bolster can be cut off and reused in the fabrication process.

I think that will be the path I will need to take, not much chance I will find replacements. My other need is to locate replacement wheels. I’m not having much luck with the neighbors having anything sitting in their parts piles.
