I have this thing on ebay and a guy in Las Vegas wants it and wanting me to find out shipping. I'm not going to ship it but if someone is going that way with a trailer to pick something up it could be some gas money. It's only $375 on ebay and it may fall apart on the way down there. Or if FJ or other pro freighters are interested let me know.

Here's a site where you can get quotes from many freighters already going that route: www.uship.com
Has anybody here tried it?

www.ytmag.com look under Community you will find Hauling schedule. Post what you want hauled there. People going different directions all the time.

Hi Steve

Offer to store it for free for a few months with payment in full.

Perhaps someone coming to Bakersfield Swap in April can haul it.

Cheyenne is My Pie Town .....

Hope your Winter is going well so far .....

FJ

Steve, what is the wheel base and how hard to remove the tongue?

FJ-Stop in,have a piece of pie at the Flying J,load this thing up and go southwest with it.


Dale,I can probably get the tongue off,I'll look tomorrow and get the wheelbase. The tongue will stand straight up also.

I tried to get this guy to find his own ride so I didn't have to be in the middle but he seems to know nothing about arranging anything of the sort. I don't want him to get ripped off so I started here first. I've heard of Uship but never used it. Never heard of ytmag.com. Thanks for input so far.

PS FJ,Do you fill here? Maybe you have a favorite place,if not,consider the BIG D Exxon on West Lincolnway just off I-25. It's not that big but does have truck parking,diner and diesel is consistently 30-40 cents cheaper than the Flying Hook. And it's good,local diesel from the refinery here. Gas is about the same as around town. Just guessing you drive a rattler.

There is no wheelbase,just remove the tongue and reach!! Bud

Hi Steve,

Flying J for pie ?

No Way ....

“ The Pie Lady “ on West Lincoln Hwy is where I go .....


FJ

Dale,9' wheelbase,tongue about 8 1/2' long. I can probably get it off if it can't stand straight up.

FJ,Her pie might be okay,I got an inedible bowl of soup in there a few years ago and haven't been back since. Perkins is my first choice now.

Bud,Huh?

Steve - Bud assumes that everybody is familiar with the names of antique wagon parts. Well, not "everybody" is!

I think what Bud is saying is that the the main single wooden "shaft" (if you will) which is called the "reach" is usually very easily removable, or, perhaps rather,...."adjustable". Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like yours is so designed, and so would be easy to loosen the anchor point of the reach and merely shove the axles closer together for shipping.

Hope this helps,.....harold

Thank you Harold!! Bud.

Okay Harold that is starting to make sense. Haven't heard back from Dale so it's still up in the air.

I've always heard those referred to as a "coupling pole" Bud. Of course my experience has been with more "modern" wagons with steel running gear. Dave

David you could very well be right as we are far apart and people may not use the same words.We have had wagons new and old and even our old pair of bobs [bob slead] had a adjustable reach.Many years ago about 15 miles from me they built a new bridge.Two 21" X 37' I beams were bought cheap and i hauled them home on a JD running gear with the reach un hooked and the wheels spread far apart.If it was me shipping that pictured wagon,i would either remove the reach and fasten the axles and bunks solid,or remove the wheels,cut the reach and tounge,and put it all on a pallet?? I think it would be up to the buyier to pay and say how they want it shiped?

The listing is "pickup only",just no way I have 12-15 hours to dismantle this thing and crate it on a pallet. I've done it too many times.
