It is probably an early 1930s Montgomery Ward LoLoad farm wagon. I was directed to you by the Michigan extension service. The numbers on the wheel are 193-L-A and markings on the inside axle are HG41 F&H. Specifically, the tongue was broken off so any information on the length and/ or hitching apparatus that should be at the end of the tongue would be helpful. The wagon and chassis are painted a deep green and the wheels are red. (Is this the origional color scheme?) Any information you could provide would be very appreciated and helpful for the young children who use this wagon as part of their curriculum. [Reply]   [No Email]

That may included a double tree so both horses or mules could be connected to the wagon. We got rid of the hay wagons that were horse drawn in the late 1940's. We bought wagons that were pulled by a tractor and had rubber tires since all the highways were hard surface. A lot were concrete. We even got a new manure spreader on rubber I think it was 90 bushel. That's not much today a local farmer has a 300 bushel spreader and pulls it with a big Ford tractor. I think he told me they use hydraulic pressure to unload it to the beaters. A local mushroom house gives them the soil to spread on his fields. I would like a dump truck load. Hal [Reply]  [No Email]
