I feel kinda bad sharing this after seeing some of the running gears others posted and had done such a nice job with. But here it is anyway the poormans solution to put a new bed on a running gear. The bed came from a salvage yard, it is a giant brand 8x16' bed that someone covered with diamond tread plate. Cost $100 +$60 for the beams. Now the 505 gear is ready for work.

| Josh, Thats a good looking wagon. I have seen many a old truck bed on a running gear. Nice 190 tractor/loader. Does it have a 500 loader? |
