I would like to see good pictures of just the gear. I had several. ICH-McCormick was the most popular around here. Dont thing Electric was in bussiness at that time. If that is a wooden gear then it would have skein hubs and I cannot tell from your picture if it has but with a disk wheel and skein hubs the conversion likely came from Wards as they had them in the farm catalog for years. I had at least 4 wagons with that conversions.. You will fing that the nut that holds the left wheel on is a left hand thread so that forward movement does not unscrew that nut and it gets lost in field and wheel comes off. Those wheels with wagon unloaded every once in a while you take the nut off and slightly pull out the wheel and lather a bit of grease on and put the wheel mack in place. They made a special gears for that back at that time very heavy with fiber. I had one gear that when I got it the bottom ov one skein was completely wore away from lack of grease, all others were fine, don't understand why that one was not grease ever the way it looked. In normal use of every day then about once a week the wheel would be loosened and greased. There were hundreds of manufacture of them. The Connestoga wagons that settled the country and the stage coathes were built the same way. If you rember the old western shows on TV that they would have has stage coatch trying to rin away from bavdits on horses and a wheel would fall off, that was probly a set up using a skine of the opposide they wanted the wheel to fall off to make the nut turn loose and drop off so wheeo would slide out and fall off. There is still a wood wheel wagon in family that was gramps and when his dad passed away grandpa wanted the old wagon because it pulled easier and grandpas brother wanted the new one because it was newer. This was in 1906. The wood wagons were rated as a 2000# gear but normaly were loaded like a 4 ton steel gear. There were several standard size skeins used but some manufactures used custom sized skeins and they all could be ordered out of the Wards farm catalog up till 1956 w hen they dropped the wood wagons from the catalog and I think the wheels were still avaible in 57 or 58. The standard skeins ysed a standard 5 lug rim while the custom sizes used a 6 lug rim.
