I am not sure of the spelling of this kind of a wagon which was used on farms during the depression of the 1930's into the 1950's. They were farm wagon converted to rubber tires with axles from old cars added. Some were even made using the car chassis but the better ones were just ordinary wood frame wagons with front axles added. The spindles were usually welded to the axles althiugh in some cases some sort of straps were added to hold the spindles from turning. I know of no such wagons in use anymore. I would like information on them and the correct spelling or pronouncation. Perhaps the name could have been "hoodlum"

Dad had a hay wagon made cutting off the spindles of a wooden wagon and sitting it on two chevrolet front axles. Worked like a champ. Once saw him load it with bundled oats which thrashed over a hundred bushels. Around here a hoodlum wagon was a panel truck used by "hoodlums." (era 30s and 40s)

I never knew what they called that type of wagon, but my dad bought one and we used it for many years hauling corn,hay and whatever else we needed it for, and we got really good service out of it. If I had a use for it I would own one of them now.

I think it is Hoodlum wagon, meaning a thrown together homebuilt. We used some farm wagons built on Model A Ford axles, wood frame and home built box until the 1970s. Had a steel tongue, and lots of the iron was usually found around the pile behind the shop. My grand father, uncles and father built these when the high wheel wooden wagons started to fall to pieces. Also when tractors came out with road gears, the wooden wagons just couldn't take the speed. So they looked for a rubber tired alternative. Do it yourself engineering, John in Nebr.
