Electric running gear capacities help.

[Randy Varilek]

Does anyone know or have a chart listing all the Models of Electric wagon gears with the rated capacities?? I have a 5015 now and I am dealing on a 5026D. The dealer is tellin me it's a 10 ton... but I think it's a 6 ton. Anyone????

The 10 ton ones usually had eight bolt wheels. The 8 ton and 6 ton had six bolt wheels.

Thanks JD. I realize that and that this is not a 10 ton either. But I'm not sure if it's a 6 ton or an 8 ton. It has to be an 8 ton at least for what I need it for. I would also like to know If my 5015 is rated as a 5 ton or a 6 ton...

I have to ask, I am thinking there was a place that carried spindles and hubs for EW wagons on the internet and I thought that there were different series for the different model #s. Like 5026a,b,c,d,and e.I believe the letter designated heavier hubs and spindles as it went from a to e. They were all 6 bolt hubs, just different ratings. I googled EW wagon parts and the company that had these parts I cannot find. I may be all wet on this. Somebody correct me if I"m wrong.

Looks like you already got your answer, but here is a scan of my brochure that you may find usefull.

It was Balster's Implement. Mr. Balster has died, and the entire inventory has been liquidated at auction and dispersed to who knows where.
