Hi all;
Been looking around for a big wagon to carry water totes (about 2200 lbs each). A farmer friend
gave me what looks to be a Deere 952 wagon running gear, probably from about 1940 or so.
Very cool. The bolsters on top of the axles are gone, so the "tabs" that attach the axle housing
to the wood stringers are home-made jobs welded on.
Anyway, the wagon was in a very short length -- 8 feet -- and I've lengthened it to 10 feet. My
question is what exactly to do with the set screws on the reach. The reach pole is connected
to each axle frame by a single bolt, but there is also a set screw that seems to have little
function. Can any of you farmers help me out? A set screw? Really?
Thanks,
Jeff
