Japple67 3 #2 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I have a dump wagon that is fairly lightweight, I'll get some pictures and dimensions if you want, but the design might need to be beefed up for your purposes. Also have a flatbed I'll take some pictures of. Edited October 20, 2014 by Japple67 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,234 #5 Posted October 20, 2014 Here is mine...it is home made. I do not know who made it, my Dad got it from somewhere, but it works great. The back end gate is like on a couple of hooby-doobys at the top that let the gate open up when dumped. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,967 #8 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I think they are 'Honey Wagon" Hooby Doobys! That is one of the coolest wagons I've seen. Like to see that double axled! Edited October 20, 2014 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,234 #10 Posted October 20, 2014 I could have said "nipples", but I was afraid you guys would go somewhere else. I was just trying to keep it out of the gutter and on a Red Neck tangent. Here Hold my beer and watch this. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Japple67 3 #12 Posted October 20, 2014 The larger one out of sheet metal I think was boughten not home built but it's 12" deep, 26" wide, the floor is 32" long and the top is 44" long. 28 3/4" long axle tube is cut in two places to allow the tongue to hinge on the axle. axle tube is mounted via a triangle the lower point being, the axle tube, and the top points being angle irons welded to the trailer bottom. the rear slope is 17" and the tongue is 36" with a slight bend in it. the axle center is 22 3'4 from the front of the bed. That's a mess I know, but I have another I'll Get some of the same info and pictures for. it's also a dump bed but welded out of garage door pieces and angle iron with plywood sides and floor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here Hold my beer and watch this. you didn't throw it high enough to keep it out of gutter. Most Honey Wagons are quite high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Japple67 3 #15 Posted October 21, 2014 maybe mount the winch underneath on the stationary part and have it pull on the end of the bed, or a bracket. or maybe in front on the tongue and run the cable up over a pulley down to the front of the bed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
