I bought a older running gear at a auction recently for $250 in excellent shape. It needs one tire and the others are good. Pulled it home, trails straight as a arrow, no breaks welds. On the back it has stenciled in white "Wards Lo-Load". Is this what would be called a Montgomery Wards wagon? How can I tell if it is 6, 8 10 ton or? I can see the spot where a metal tag once was but it is gone. Did they make them. It has a red frame with green wheels, five lug. I have heard of David-Bradley equipment sold by Sears that were red and green, is this the same thing. I am going to put a new hay wagon bed on it, what are a close match for colors? Oliver or JD green? IH or NH red? Thanks a bunch!

I am not sure about Wards but Sears gears were:
5 bolt wheels 3 to 4 ton
6 bolt wheels 5 to 6 ton
8 bolt wheels 8 ton I hope this helps you.

They started out at 3 1/2 ton and I think only one year made a 10 ton, track width is one way to identify size

I have a running gear that has cut down steel on it and the hubs have wards lo-load cast in them. When I sandblasted the wagon I found red paint on it also. I repainted it with IH red because it was what I had around. I am going to put a small flatbed on it someday.
