just got back from twin falls,Id and while i was there i got to snooping at all the stuff my mother in law has saved over the years. one of my brother in laws was there to get his 80 cc honda out to take home and as he pulled it out guess what was hiding? a very rusted radio flyer. i asked my mother in law who's wagon and she said some of the kids, why you want it. i couldn't contain my self, so as best i could i said yes. got it out cleaned the cobwebs and muck off, put it in my car and now it's here. to tired to take pic's and it's dark, so will get some pic's posted in a couple of day's. yeah, i am happy.
ok, here are the pic.

Thats a cool little rat wagon you got there, I real like the washer in the bed. I've had a number of old wagons and most had washers in them and you have all of the hubcaps too, sweet. Is it wet or did you clear coat it?
 
i sprayed blaster and wd40 in the bed to lossen up some of the rust. will rub it out with wd40 an steel wool to clean it up alittle then clear coat it. yeah, i think i will slam it then figure out a way to tow it behind some of my bikes. will build a wood stake side on it to keep gear in as i will be pulling this alot on rails an trails. so anybody got a good way to slam it and beable to keep the same wheels an put some kind of hook up to tow? thanks.

oh yeah, thats kool. took mine all apart tonite. now seeing how to lower it. i need to keep it stout as there will be some weight in it sometimes. have an idea for the rear but not the front. i think i'll have to get the front wheels out there like some of the pic's showed, but i need to figure out how to hook it to a bike to be towed. any thoughts anyone. thanks

I have a wagon, err, a few of them, too.

Just picked these two up from the curb earlier this week. It was clean up time in the neighborhood where my wife owns a preschool.

Got this one for free from a neighbor some time ago. Has a rusted out floor from which the front wheel assembly has finally broke off. That's why it has that raked look.

Got this Greyhound wagon at a swap meet a few years ago for $25. Has a person's name license plate on the back with a 1958 date. I thought about restoring it as the Greyhound lettering and dog decals are available, but went against it. This is my official swap meet wagon.

And, finally, I bought this one from a guy on CL for $10. I went to his place to by a 50s 24" JC Higgins.
