"Saginaw" tractor wagons??

[Builder]

Ever hear of Saginaw tractor wagons? I was "given" one for some farm work, pretty heavy duty wagon. Not a full size, but much bigger than the typical garden tractor cart. All 4 wheels steer and are connected via a rod running diagonally the length of the frame. Pneumatic tires. Capacity 6000 lbs. Tons of grease fittings and a ball hitch coupler. Very HD running gear. Looks overbuilt.

I'll try to get some pics.

Not too far gone. Light - moderate rust. 3 tires are flat.

Wondered if it's worth fixing or just sell for scrap?

With all four wheels steering, I wonder if it's an ex-airport luggage cart? Sounds interesting, can't wait to see some pics. I'd like to have a medium sized wagon myself.

I would think it would be worth fixing, it can't cost that much.

That's what it reminds of too, but the deck was heavy wood. It has a rear ball hitch so another wagon can be hooked to it-another airport luggage wagon feature. This one came off a farm, so it seems unlikely, but I guess anything's possible.

The wheels have large packed bearings and pretty heavy tie rods.

Among other things, moving parts are seized. Gonna take some work to get this thing useable again. Might be more work than it's worth.
