Jack suggested a post so here it is. I purchased the Kory mini running gear for $650 from Wengers in Myerstown.
http://www.wengers.com/display_type.asp ... ype=Wagons
It comes in an orange color that is close to Allis Chalmers orange and Case power red. It can hold 3000 lbs. Its a quality American made product. :usa2: The great thing about it is you can ramp it up in a pickup truck, short bed no less with the tailgate down (tied in real good). I could find no information on building the platform so I just copied what was done on the bigger ones and used common sense. Two 2" x10" runners rest on the gear. The platform was fabricated with 2" x 6" joists. I used 4 big galvanized bolts to attach the runners to the joists. I used 3" galvanized nails for the framing. Its down in Virginia so I am going off the top of my head. I used 1" x 6"cedar for the floor and walls attached to the stakes. I used tung oil on the cedar. Got a slow moving vehicle reflector from Hoobers in Intercourse, Pa.

If anyone wants more info please don't hesitate to ask. :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa:

That looks great and pretty easy to do. Thanks for posting. I am definitely going to make one.

Rich,

I have been drooling over this wagon since you first posted it :thumbsup: One of those would come in real handy here at Golden Cove! Great job :thumbsup:

Rich, is the reach pole adjustable to lengthen the wheelbase a bit? Just curious. I'd love to have one of those for taking all the kids for a hay ride when we do our corn roasts. Yours really came out nice. :thumbup:

Thank you all for the kind words. :usa: :usa: :usa:
John: Yes it does adjust, here is the data:

I built it for work and play. I have towed it around in NY with human cargo. Right now its in Virginia and sometines we take it to the deeded beach. I had an idea with firewood. Would be nice to fill it up and then put it in the garage during winter instead of stacking twice.
Couple other items: Stake hardward I got from Lowes. Stakes are douglas fir 2" x 4" s.
You can buy the running gear with a prefab metal platform.
They can be hooked together to form a train.
Note the runners are only tied on. This allows movement of the gear/platform over slightly unveven terrain. There are chinese ones out there but I was afraid of what the quality may be. They seemed to be about $400-500 with shipping new. I went to Wengers Myerstown in Pa. to purchase with my light pickup then had a little vacation with the wife in Lancaster, not too far away to the south.

Have you tried towing it with your Case? I would like to have one just to tow in parades.


I like the fact that it's kind of a bare bones deal in the beginning and you make it the way you want.
With a little welding and some fabrication someone could make it dump from a rear PTO.

Here's some video footage if I did it right. Notice my wife's sister loves it and is humming Deliverance dueling banjos and my wife is yelling its too damn slow! :sidelaugh: :sidelaugh: :sidelaugh: Case 224 pulls it no problem. Would be great for parades or at a tractor show. Lots of options. A dump body is an excellent idea. I was thinking about it but didn't have the time. Next one I may do that myself. :222: :446: Best Regards, Rich

 

[CASE 220/4]

I love that thing. I need that to take my kids trick or treating

Ahhhh. so that's why you want the dump body. All those treats can add up quick.

That is a nice looking "little" wagon.

Excellent job! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words Don. :usa: Running gear would be sweet behind that 7020 hauling some firewood. :thumbsup:

That is very nice and looks to be heavy duty. When I get some of my other projects done I think I'll be doing 1 of those. Ray

 

[transdktr]

I just checked and they're asking 1250.00 for that now. Looks like I'll be finding a another way to build it. Ray

Ray: Yea, they went up a lot. I would keep an eye out for a used one.

[bigplow]

nice wagon I am planning on building one from the ground up this wintr (hopefully)my friends dad is cutting some ash trees down and we are going to mill the logs up for me and a semi trailer floor so I will be building my platform from that it will probaly be a total show and ride piece for tractor shows I want to do up a resto mod case gt to pull it with alot of ideas in my head just have not narrowed it down yet

looks great again gave me a couple new ideas is that a 4'x6' bed mine might be a little narrower as I was thinking about using case 200 series front axles I have laying around or build my own

nice ac looks like a wd45

 

[InTroubleAlltheTime]

Did another search today and yes they are still at $1200 now new. I thought that $650 was a lot, but the quality is there. If one could find one used. Rich

Trouble
Build your own and save the bucks. There isnt much to them

 

[quickfarms]

I have built many wagons in the past.

I look around and after a while can usually find surplus warehouse carts for about $ 300, but they usually need a new deck. I have three covered ones, they look like airport baggage carts, that store my firewood.
