***UPDATE** I've added style to this wagon --
• Leaving Tools in Vinegar
I modified my first wagon a little over a month ago and it didn't last 24 hours in my possession before being traded for two parts wagons. In this video I disassemble the two wagons that I received in trade.
I tried to use as many of the original parts as possible. The wheels were salvaged from a discarded baby buggy/carriage/stroller. The steering head was narrowed to reduce the length of the wheelbase; the scroll was used to raise the height of the axle bolts. One castor was used on the underside of the steering head. The stiff steering mount was made from 1"x1/8" flat bar. Two pieces of 3/16" flat bar was used for the sacrificial scrape material. The original handle was extended using two valve springs. Axle bolts are 3/8". The guts of a $1 LED book light, was used for the running light; the housing was an old bike light of some kind that I found on one my yard sale adventures. The motorcycle license plate was also found treasure hunting. The "crystal" ball is a mystery item.
The top of the finished wagon deck sits just as tall as a standard aluminum can. Ride height was set to 3/8", after adding the 3/16" flat bar to keep from scraping through the wagon deck -- we are just hovering above the ground. Perfect height for scraping over driveways and speedbumps.
This was one of my favorite projects so far. I learned a lot and I hope it has given you ideas for your custom wagon build
