Titan Wheel in Quincy is about the ONLY ag wheel/rim maker left. Motor Wheel used to make a few, and French & Hecht from Davenport & Walcott, IA. used to be big but only makes small implement wheels now I think as part of Titan in Walcott. Only other large rim rolling line I know of was at Steiger Tractor in Fargo, ND. Every other ag wheel/rim manufacturer buys the rims & centers from TITAN. Back on topic, Dad bought an OLIVER wagon in about 1967 that was all made by EWC, galvanized barge box of VERY LARGE dimensions, 150 bu. cap. without sideboards. EWC made MANY different capacity running gears. Dad's had 6-bolt 15" wheels and was rated 8 ton. Neighbor had the same wagon box on a JD gear and after He saw Dad's EWC/Oliver He was really sorry He bought the wrong shade of green paint! EWC's normal color was red but the Oliver box & gear was painted Oliver green. It looked really sharp with two feet of side boards painted IHC 2150 red and picked ear corn heaped up another foot above them! I remember hauling shelled corn with that wagon one summer, without sideboards and the scale tickets for just the loaded wagon were all just over 10,000#. Sure glad We never weighted a BIG load of ear corn!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
