How about a hay wagon

grandpa Love · Mar 11, 2020

Someone gave me this hay wagon...... Got a few questions. Any one here have a picture of the area in first 2 pictures? I'm sure the barbwire isn't correct! Lol. Front won't turn at all what's in these?just grease? No bearing? Heat and beat?

I know there are bearings in the hub...

Couple of ways. Heat and wax or repeated applications of your favorite penetrating oil. HTH

Heat and ATF over and over till things free up. I have built a few of those ad you want a good back board area and side board can be nice but can also get in the way. A lot depends on how flat the field is because you do not want hay falling off

I have 4 rack wagons, one is an electric wheels, it was siezed up when I bought it, mine has 2 grease fittings on the spindles total of 4, I put grease in, took the fittings out sprayed penetrating oil on everything and heated it, and heated it over and over for about a week, I mean an hour every night, I hooked the tongue to my tractor on an angle and used the tractor back and forth to try and break it free, I also able to put a lolly column pipe were the hitch pin goes to get more leverage to work it back and forth, it was a job, took hours but finally broke loose.
I have 1 wagon here now, I?ll look at it tomorrow, but I?m pretty sure all mine are different from your pic, 3 of mine are 6-8 ton running gears.

We had one that got stuck like that I heated the axle never helped. So I put one tractor chained the axles to the rear of the tractor then started working the tongue back and forth with another tractor till I could pry the spindle out of the axle. Then cleaned it up and added another grease fitting at the top end so grease would be at both top and bottom. Works good now.

Is there a grease fitting? If you can remove it, dig around with a pick to remove any dried grease and install a new fitting. Heat with a tourch but just good and hot not super hot. Stick a grease gun on it and stand on the pump handle. Often enough you can luck out and it will take grease. Wheel hubs usually will come loose but try to not destroy the grease cap. You will have a very hard time replacing some of those oldie but goodies. My $.o2.

I agree with Jay in the fact it looks like an Electric gear. I?m working on one now that is likely a later model. It had similar symptoms. The later ones had grease fittings on the tie rods and center pivot. I agree with Old in that heat and soak is the cure. Pick your potion.

Heat and candle wax as it cools. Repeat as necessary. Put some logs on it and drive it around.
