McCurdy Gravity Wagon Decals?

NewOldFarmer · Nov 3, 2022

Hello all,
I recently bought a McCurdy Gravity Wagon, (I believe it is a 185 Buschel) and am in the process of cleaning it up and restoring it. I will use it, but outside of surface rust it is in pretty good shape. I would like to find the McCurdy Decals that go on it though and am having no luck. Does anyone by chance know where they can be bought, or made? Any Help is much appreciated. ** I am attaching photos of the originals that are still on it, but in bad shape. I plan to clean it up and paint it so they won't survive the process.

Might talk to a local sign company or a place that does vinyl lettering. I have done that many times for decals that are no longer available

My local auto body shop has a graphics department that makes decals like that.

I rebuilt some old Parker wagons close to ten years ago. I took a good digital photo and measurements to a sign printer. I had sets for 3 wagons done for about $30. Please post pictures when you get 'em
done!

Thanks, for the idea. I have actually contacted a local graphics shop and they told me they have done this before, so I sent them an email with photos, and am waiting to hear back ref: price, time etc.. If it works, this will be great because I have several Old pieces of equipment, I am restoring... I guess it is my Hobby... Of course, the old stuff usually works great and doesn't cost anywhere near as much as the new equipment either! Thanks again!

I would guess it is closer to 150 bushels. If I rember correctly I had one back when I was farming and all my wagons of any make were 125 bushels. Does it say on the decals where it was made? I do know the McCurdy grain elevaters were built at Ada Ohio butbussiness has been long as probably 30+ years gone. We had a NcCurdy elevator bought in about mid 50's. When bought a bale only elevator in late 70's it on transport had only slides for the transport to pipe frame of the elevator part and they did not work so we went to the McCurdy factory in Ada and bought the lheels just like our grain elevator had and the hoist on the bale elevator worked fine after that. Don't know when production stoped in Ada or if they moved to someplace else. Only live just a few mile from Ada.
