Hello Jim Dandy

When Cargill was building a new elevator & farm store in Morris, MB & closing their farm store in Winnipeg, MB, they had abut 2 dozen of these 12 ton & 7 ton Farm King wagons that they wanted to get rid of & not have to move to the new location. My dad bought them all, 2 for the hay racks & 1 for a grain box. He sold the rest to neighbours. There was also some odds & ends like extra hitches, poles (I think that's what the pipe that connects the front to the back of the wagon is called?) & rims, so I had a spare rim & bought an extra tire to have a spare. After the first flat & having to drive back to the yard to pick up the spare & tools, I thought that there had to be a better way. The toolbox is an old army surplus ammo box. Big enough for a 20 ton bottle jack, 1/2" breaker bar, extension & socket, 4 way wheel wrench & a short piece of 2x8 to put under the jack if the ground is soft.

I haven't had to use it too many times over the years, but it's 1 of those things that is sure nice to have when you need it!!!
