Identify pics....Granddads farm........

banjoman09 · Nov 28, 2017

We have several family farms near me- one is where my Granddad used to live and farm; I was walking thru some of the trees this morning and found two items of interest- can you help me identify these? I may rebuild the wagon- are there any good wheels out there? The wheel pic are large wheels with an axle attached- maybe tractor? Whatever they go to is not there anymore. Thanks.

Wide wheel may be from a grain binder.

Seed drill or rake? Ben

okay....thanks....sounds like a possible; is the wagon a "buckboard" maybe? Not sure....looks like it may have had a seat on the back....metal bottom.

I bet some Amish folks can build you some wheels for the wagon. The big steel ones look like they came off of an old drag type combine.

Every times get a hammer out, I remind my son, that the hammer has been in our family for over 200 years. It is a prized heirloom. He says it looks pretty new, I say well yeah, we take good care of it. It's had 7 handles, and 2 heads put on it.

Your wagon will be the same way.

Cannot tell what anything is from the pictures with all the brush. A buckboard is just a stretched out single seat buggy so it has a small bed on the back. Same wheels as a buggy and about an inch and a half wide, wood rim on wood spokes but with a steel tire. No top as some buggy's had a top.
