I do not know that specific model, but here are some general guidlines.
The lightest wagon gear I have seen is rated at 5 ton, and that was a very common size used in the 50's & 60's. Usually the 5 ton gear had 5 bolt wheels with 14, 15, or 16" old car tires. The 6 ton and up usually had 6 bolt wheels and 15" or 16" car tires or pickup tires. The 7 and 8 ton wagon gears had similar 6 bolt wheels, but they were built heavier for more load capacity. I have found the tonage rating to be somewhat optimistic. Most every farmer has had a wagon collapse with less than the rated load. I even had a one year old (new!) 8T wagon collapse the front bolster while on the hay field with less than 5T on it.
The value of the gear you are describing may be as high as $350 with real good tires and minimal rust, matching wheels, and no signs of metal cracks or fatigue. The front tongue should be tight, less than 2" back and forth motion. Any condition less than described will lower the price, and some are just junk that hasn't been recycled yet.
A good wooden flatbed with no rot and strong stringers may be worth up to $150 more. If a stringer is patched together, the deck is junk. A useful deck should be 8 or 9 ft wide and 16 ft long. Some home made ones of the 50's and 60's were 7' X 14', but those aren't worth much today.
