Covered Wagon Gets Around At Farm Shows

Covered Wagon Gets Around At Farm Shows WAGONS/TRAILERS Conversions 25-6-22 Tim and Angie Moulder of Pittsboro, Ind., pulled their little boy in this home-built covered wagon at the Farm Progress Show. It keeps the kids out of the sun and wind and rain. He welded together a steel frame and attached a wooden floor and sides to it. Four wooden side racks attach to stake pockets. The front rack can be removed and used as the back for a removeable wooden bench seat that's mounted on the wagon floor. The Moulders 3-year-old son can sit on the bench seat while their 1-year-old son sits in a baby car seat behind him. To make the covered top, Tim sewed together material that he bought at an Army surplus store. The material is supported by three lengths of bent metal rod that fit into stake pockets on the sides of the wagon. A length of bunge cord is sewed into each end of the fabric in order to keep it tight. A brake rod on one side of the wagon can be used to keep the wagon from moving whenever it's parked on slopes. The front part of the wagon has cup holders and is equipped with a large metal handle that allows the wagon to be pulled by an ATV or riding mower.
