Hay wagon Winter project

Looks like just a 6 lug ag hub to me.

It is. I'm just saying you can get good tires on rims really cheap online if you search.

Craigslist is a good place for used tires. Sky was talking about new spindles, I sure wouldn't go that route unless I had to. I built a couple of hay trailers out of that running gear to feed 4 rolls. Very easy way to feed hay in different pastures.

I'm always building hay wagons sky, I enjoy it. That gear isn't real heavy I wouldn't go any longer than 16'. I've been finding rims and tires on Letgo and just swapping the centers if the lug pattern is different. Just did these last weekend got the Goodyear's and rims for $50.

Thanks for the advice I was thinking about a 12' wagon running gear 10 foot floor 12

I don't want to change all spindles but I'm missing a hub and that's the problem I will keep front 2 as they are but will have to do 2 new back spindles and hubs

I'd try and find the right hub, it looks like an ag hub. I assume that the spindle must be ruined?

We have several hay wagons like that. I wish those wagons were out of the way in the barns as I am not going to ever use them. Some of them are piled high with junk.

I've noticed empty wagons are a really handy place to put everything and anything when they're sitting over the winter, make a handy workbench too. I'm thinking about trying to stack wagons 2 maybe 3 high to take up less space in my shed this winter.

We never did do it, but I heard my dad say that. You can't let them set out as the floor want last. The ones we have I have creosoted a couple times through the years and they never have sat outside. I latter learned that just about looking at cresote you can get cancer, not going to use that again.

Should be enough older Ford,Gm and Dodge pickups around that used 15" tires.Might ask a tire shop to hold some back from the landfill.

Spindles still good but hubs I found aren't long enough

Will the other 3 hubs fit on the spindle? I had this same problem with a grain wagon and found the right hub at ag supply. NAPA was next to use less.

They fit but I been thinking about making a spacer to make a hub fit. I got a Agri supply 20 mins away but no hubs fit.

the thing I don't like about those wagons is they're PITA to back up.. I much rather use single axle wagons around here

Don't back up pull through

One of my hubs I have on hand for trailers as you can see too long for it.
