While we never did find any set identification for this wagon, everyone who has seen it says it appears to be a Thornhill Wagon. I have put a lot of hours sanding, cleaning, scraping, soaking, priming and painting and the results were better than I expected. Took about 6 weeks total at a friends farm to get my “project” finished. My 68 year old neighbor had a blast going with me to help paint the wheels, watch me work and to keep me company. I also had a good friend of ours remake the brake parts, that were wood, and a new reach pole as the one that was in there was too short. The wheels we took up to New Holland where they got checked and one wheel got new spokes and bellows (?).
