got one that is real good, and is so old that it has JD cast into the nuts on the center of the wheels. is auto steer, with springs, and has 16" rubber but the main rails have wear plates like it had steel wheels. ready for a new bed, could run longer but it is taller and has a shorter bed than the other wagons kids hate to stack on it. question is does anybody want to restore this thing or should I do it like the rest of my wagons, sandblast, paint and put a treated flat bed on it

I would just paint it up and put a new wagon on it. I also have one like that, but it doesn't have springs. only has 2 original rims on it, then 2-15" on the back. BTW- what is "auto steer"? Don

Don, "auto steer" refers to the steering mechanism having king pins allowing the front wheels to pivot around an axis near each wheel's vertical centerline, the wagon tongue in this case moves (steers) a tie rod connected to each wheel spindle. Therefore the "auto" refers to automobile rather than "self". This is opposed to being "wagon steer" which has a pair of wheels on a rigid axle which pivots in the center of the axle (wagon). This simpler to build arrangement is harder to steer and less stable on turns.
