I found a four wheel wagon with metal sides about 24 inches tall and a metal floor. It has a sliding bail gate at the rear. This wagon was made by a company in Iowa (forgot the name). Tires are rotted off it but it looks like a sound frame and the floor and sides are pretty good too. The box is about 10 foot long by six foot wide. Its been sitting about 25 years in the same spot. I found the guy on the phone, when he bought the place all the old equipment was there and I offered him $50 for the wagon but he said he`d keep it for that even though its just sitting there. What do you guys think a fair price would be? I`d hate to give a $100 for it but it is a nice small size for my five acre place on the edge of town. Pulling it with a C Allis.

There can be 'collector value' or specialty use for some of these that make them worth $300, but in general $75 - 150 would get you a good barge box wagon on working tires here in the midwest in about 3 auction sales. Wood boxes are far more common where I live, steel would be a flair box 'here'. As stated, most every farmer has a couple taking up shed room, not being used these days.

What kind of running gear, JD will bring extra money, welded home-made or old 5-bolt specialty rim gear will bring less than average money.

I'd check out what kind of rims & tire size, if it isn't a standard, easy to find bolt pattern then it's hard to mess with the wagon....

A couple of questions, Do the king pins let you turn the wheels? What size tires and could you find tires? Condition of rims or easily replaced with newer rims for a more popular size tire? If turns OK and you can find the tires For $ 25 or less apiece then it could be worth $ 150. I have seen Junk Condition wagons with rotted beds (Unsafe to stand on) sell for $ 250 and that was to machinery jockey for resale.

I went back and looked at the wagon. Winpower MFG. Co. out of Newton, Iowa made it. The box measures 10 foot long, 4 foot 9 inches wide, 29 inch straight side walls. The bed is steel diamond plate probably 1/8 or 3/16 thick. Tires that are on the wagon size are 7.00x15, I don`t know what other wheels will fit on it? Shouldn`t be hard to find used tires though. A foot of the tounge is froze in the ground so I can`t say if it moves freely or not?

Any 15" car or truck tires would work, find cheap, look on the tire dealers junk pile, all you need is a solid carcus, don't need tread, tire worn too smooth for road resale would be avaible basicaly for mounting, if the bed is what you want figure what it would cost for you to make it. If the gear would be no good later if the bed is what you want you could replace with a better gear.

The small old farm wagons around here are going for ten to fifteen dollars on farm sales, they won't hold even half a combine hopper of grain, everyone has switched to the large grain carts. I can have about six just for going and getting them, if you're in an area they are scarce, still wouldn't be worth more than 50 dollars, with the tires rotted off. keep looking around, John in Ne.

John, This isn't the first time I've seen you post about how wagons/running gears in your area are worthless. I could use a couple flat wagons or running gears which could be built into flat wagons. I would be using them for hay and hay rides. I live just south of Kansas City, but will be in Lincoln this weekend (Feb. 1-2)with a trailer.

Do you know of any that are available cheap? I don't want anything that is complete junk (no homemade jobbies, no broken/welded up gears, etc.)

If so, please let me know. What part of the state are you in?

Thanks, James Martin
