New set of wheels!

Post by Tim Powell »

Hey Crew.
Hope to start painting the "M" this summer. Sort of in hot water with the Boss over buying an old hay-wagon to set the bed and misc. parts on to paint and move in and out of the shop. This follows on the heals of me buying my Lori two hand-grenades for Valentines Day. Sure glad they were inert!

I wish I knew you were needing a hay wagon, I have one you could have have for a good $?
Hand grenades, Miss Lori sure is lucky!

It's a safe bet anything you have would be in better shape than this old gal but it will be fine for a rolling paint bench!
I put a picture in my photo album. Going to change the hitch today, don't like the "pin" rattle!

Tim,

I understand why Lori was upset, I thought everyone knew that hand grenades are for Sweetest Day and a Thompson Submachinegun is for Valentines Day. :lol:

Tim, Does Ms. Lorri's Hay Wagon, aka Painting Platform have a Data Plate on the axle or rear cross member? Mine has a Monkey Wards, I can't remember the date, 1948 or 49, I'll check later?

OK Guys!
Now that I have my holidays in the right order (Bert) I'll look for a data plate! (Bruce) Interesting. I never even thought about looking.

Thanks David!
My thought process is to get the few little things fixed on the wagon so I can move it about with our Taylor-Dunn electric cart. I'm hoping to take the bed off the "M" real soon and this will provide a rolling platform so I can move it in and out on the shop by myself. I wasn't going to spend any time on the wagon but you know how that goes. What the "hay", it's only money right?
