i have a wooden wagon that i traded for its all wood except for the steel that holds it together even the axels are wood not the spindels or the rims was told it came from pa. it had high sides i have cut them down going to use it as a wagon to pull the kids around on my question is the tong has roted of i have built a new one but was wondering how long it should be right now it is 8' long but i can cut it down also what would this ahve been used for its 6' wide and about 15' long thanks
 
Well the tongue is a bit short for horses, but not much. and a little long for tractors. 6 ft is more common. But it likely has a pivoting front axle (fifth Wheel). Those deserve a long tongue to apply leverage to those wheels when they go over bumps or such. If it has a tight structure to the box, it could be a grain hauler. But it would be very heavy if the sides were even 30 inches tall. Wagons were multi purpose in most cases because they were likely to be the only way to haul. Jim
 
Make it long enough that the tractor tire clears the corner of the wagon box by at least a foot when turning.

Can you post a picture? Sounds like a grain wagon. The tong might have been for a team. The ones that I have cut down I made sure the tractor wheels would not hit the corner of the wagon, so I can turn sharper.
