We have some awesome weather for the next few days. I was hoping to get to Pull A Part today. My newly named Pap Wagon got dug out from behind the shed with flats of course. 3 of the 4 tires held air, but 1 doesn't so I have to pull a wheel off and patch a tube or replace a tube. So not gonna make it today. Also have to pull a trans apart for a Th400 Case only I sold.
Here's thet garden wagon 89S now to be a Pull A Part Wagon, or Pap Wagon.

That's the ticket right there man. Be prepared for dudes gazing with stars in their eyes and drooling at you wheeling that thing loaded with tools and parts through the lot. I have half a mind to just go there with my tools and rent my services out.

cool little rig

My boys have a Radio Flyer wagon that has wood sides on it and big rubber tires with air in them that'd make good "pap wagons" in the future based on what I see here!!

Isn't it cute?

Needs dumbo mirrors bolted to each side

Oh man, don't do that. I used my daughter Raido Flyer with wooden sides one time for PAP many years ago. Fugged it pretty good. I didn't even take the wooden sides with me, just used the flat part. Had a part laying in it, it scratched and gouges the wood from the bouncing around as I pulled the wagon thru the dirt/gravel parts yard. That's why I never thought to use a wagon again until I seen 89S's set up and then remembered my garden wagon.

I have carried complete motors on that Garden wagon. It begged for mercy but it did it. The side gates on this wagon can be taken loose at the top corners, then the gates are hinged and fall down to the side covering the wheels making a flat cart too. It'll be perfect for a Pap Wagon.

Here is a pic with the sides down. If I have long stuff, I can just leave the tailgate down and the front and 2 sides up too.

Now that you show that my parents have a cart just like that but a maroon color

My great daughters have a smaller one that is Maroon that I bought them for their birthdays. They wanted one with gates on it and when a damn Tin Radio Flyer with little rubber core wheels was $119 and no sides or gates or it, I went to Tractor Supply and got them a wagon with big air up tires and gates on it $79 so they can drag it around the backyard in the grass where the radio flyer couldn't if one of them was in it. They love it. And I got them License plates with their names on them. There is only about 2/3 the size of my ugly green one though. The Green one is the biggest one I've seen in these type. There is also a Yellow one and it's smaller than the Maroon IIRC.

FAK !!! Went to fix that one flat that wouldn't hold air for 5 minutes. Went to go work on it, and it now has 3 flats. So apparently, the other 2 wouldn't last a few hours at PAP either. They've got tubes so maybe they are repairable, but I have a feeling the valve stems are cut where they come thru the metal rim from the wagon being pulled loaded and with flats. That prolly cut the stems. I think I have some small tubes that I bouht on sale at HF for like $2-$3 each.

Started working on the wheels are tires. Seems to be pretty easy and straight forward. I found a tiny leak in the front tube. Patched it and it's been about 20 minutes and still solid as a rock. So I think I got that one done. Wheels were rusty as hell. Cleaned them a bit and lubed with White Lithium in the bearings best I could and the axle shafts too. Friggin wheels in front turn way better now.

Of course with any project, take your safety precautions and NEVER trust a jack and make sure your wheels on the ground can't move. Got that taken care of, now I can get to work.

LMAO at wheel chocks on little ole wagon

Dip them tubes in the sink to look for bubbles, or in this case a cerial bowl would probably be big enough lol

That thing is just cute lol

 

[HotRodPC]

Hell yeah man, Safety First.
I did, I sunk them in the kitchen sink. 2 down, taking a break, and 1 to go.
