Years ago, when my grandfather had a Mccormick Deering 10-20, he had a cart he used for hauling tobacco and shocks of corn. When he headed to the cornfield, his gray cat would jump onto the cart and ride it to the field. My grandfather and uncle would be loading the corn, the cat would be loading mice to take home.

This is the remains of the cart I was told. The only marking is H156 on the wheels, L on the left side nut (maybe left hand thread)
The first and third pic is from a program my father had from a celebration in 1958.

I am planning to rebuild the cart and use it for light work. I got the wheels freed up, they turn freely and did not disintgrate, the cart was parked about 60 years ago after the tongue cracked.


There are two more pics, I will post them below.

I have four like that and two of the nuts have L and two have R. Right and left threads. I plan on building a firewood wagon with mine. Does yours have the tapered hubs?

Finally found the last of the pics. One is the axle looking from the bottom side, the other three pieces were links running from the tongue to the board where the two links come from the axle.

the other pic is a lawnmower frame another uncle bought in the late 1950s. Outlasted 4 B&S engines, 20 years as a firewood cart, original wheels, waiting on engine #5.
Dont build them like that anymore...

Don't think yours are the tapered skeins, hubs look same size on both ends where the tapered ones are bigger on inside end. and you use the left hand thread on left side to keep from unscrewing the nut as driving, enough backing and the nut will unscrew and fall off and when that happens so will the wheel.
