I just bought a dump wagon with external band drum brakes on the rear axle. I would say that it is factory built but I cannot find a mfg's serial or model number plate. The dump is a Midwest that I think was dealer or owner installed. The frame and wheels are orange. What do you guys think? New Idea?

I found the plate. It is a New Idea W-102 running gear. No springs.

One of my landladies has a haywagon with an orange running gear with rear brakes like that, sitting in the shed. She said it's a Grove. I don't notice any linkages to the brakes, they may have been removed as the wagon has had its original hitch pole replaced with a shop-made extension hitch. I've seen old rear-unload silage wagons that had a spring-actuated surge system on the hitch.

Do these brakes actually work? I have an old running gear that was made from car axles and the brake drums are still on them, doesn't mean the wagon ever had brakes, so just wondering in your case?

Yes they do fuction. There is a rod that extends out from the center of the rear axle. When pulled the bands tighten around the drums. It is spring loaded and releases. Something is missing that will allow the brakes to be set on while sitting. That is why I want to ID the running gear.

Does it have spring suspension? I have an old wagon chassis that has a brake set up and leaf springs. I found a tag on it and it is an old bomb trailer.
