Kicker Rack ID

[Bill VA]

Picked up a couple of well used old kicker wagons today - these have metal racks. Two wagons with identical metal racks.

1.5 inch square tubing and originally blue painted when new. About 7ft tall sides. 8x16 ft racks.

Anyone know who might have made these metal racks?

BTW - one is on a Coby running gear and the other is on a Unverferth McCurdy. Both have 6 lug wheels. Any thoughts on these running gears - the good, bad and ugly?

Thanks!

I'll bet that those have been built by hundreds of shops. You will be able to fit 20 more bales on a wagon, not having to worry about busting the back all up.

They look like tall coral panels on a flat rack. Otherwise, no particular manufacturer stands out in my mind.

The running gears are running gears. If they're straight and tight and you don't abuse them they will last another 60 years. They're probably 60 years old now.
