rick165 · Apr 3, 2011

gettin ready to paint her and then put on a new bed gonna call the local sawmill tommorro to see about some good ole oak hardwood gonna use 12x16 stringers with 4x4 cross pieces and some good oak boards for the deck just gonna use it for hay so oak boards will work just fine.was just wonderin how do you guys tie the cross 4x4s to the stringers i was thinkin of maken some brackets out of 1/4 steel from some scrap pieces i have layn around i will post more as it comes together.that might end up bein a couple 3 weeks though.work comes first and customers are screamin for asphalt which will start up this week.

I had a bunch of galvanized from an old windmill. I used the 2x2 angle iron on the very outside ends running the length. Makes the ends all ine up and the vertical side I used to attach a side shield.
I found some special screws made in Germany. They had a big flanged head and a torx fastener. Bronze in color and you buy them by the piece, 2 1/2 or 3 inches long. No water is going in those fasteners.

12x16 stringers?????

Paul from MI · Apr 3, 2011

I used 2 x 2 x 3/16 angle iron, just drilled holes for bolts to the stringers and cross supports

We have one like that with three of the original tires and a mint condition Daivd Bradley-Sears flairbox we doubt it has ever sat a night out

Nice! I have a David Dradley (Sears) wagon like that with a flat rack on it. Paid $200 for it and while that was probably a little much I get good use out of it year-round. I love the pin stripe painting and ensignia lettering on mine. Works great for selling pumpkins and produce off of! It pulls better than any other wagon I"ve pulled - can do 40 with it on back roads!

I bought a really nice New Ideal wagon running gear last fall for $50. My plans were to build a portable deer hunting stand on it.

My brother has my dads old Monkey Wards wagon, I go the John Deere wagon.

Nice project.

Say Rick, do you know if those are the original monkey wards colors on your trailer?I'm rebuilding what I believe to be a old wards planter.From what I can find left of the paint, frame was red like your trailer , but I cant find any old paint on the few parts of the old wood boxes that remain.good looking trailer by the way should be a fun project.

I don't know if I can do this but I saw this today on CL. Since it's sort of on topic.
