Many of their flat wagons didn't.
This thread was about a model B grain drill not a farm wagon. Many JD wagon gears had tapered roller bearings. JD model 943 wagon which was introduced in 1947 had tapered roller bearings

I had a perfect Plan B, but it fell through. My neighbor had a tandem 4 place snowmobile trailer, but he sold it. Here is a pic of my snowmobile trailer. The stick is 11' from the shovel at a diagonal.

I would be a bit leery of a grain drill on that trailer. Might be fine but.

I sold a 13 run drill to a guy who drove several hours to get it. Loaded it crossways on a U-Haul open top cargo trailer. We unbolted the hitch and he left with it.

Thanks. I figured it looked sketchy. I figured the grain drill weighed 1300#. The problem is that the load would be tail heavy.

What do you figure that grain drill is worth?

It depends on it’s condition, but I would think in a range of say $900 to $2000. It has the small seed box and it looks like it doesn’t have a fertilizer so it shouldn’t be too rusty.

Guys take them and cut them in half so a ATV can pull them.
