The other day you guys were discussing how to build hayracks.

My father built this hayrack in 1964.

In 1969 I painted it and that is the only paint it has ever had.At the age of 12.

It has set outside all of its life.

There are a few bad spots in it now but thats from the loader and big round bales.

Channel iron 6" main frame,3"cross members,And 1x12 fir boards.

We had to replace the running gear once and its getting tired again.

Didn't realize it was so old till you guys were talking about racks.

Gary, do you know what kind of running gear that is on that wagon? We have a wagon that has the exact same running gear. It sure doesn't have the turning radius of an old barentine wagon. Thanks

I believe its a Cobey running gear but I would have to look at the tag to make sure. Went and looked.I was right.

Looks alot like what I just built, other then I used tube instead of C channel from the main frame. Seems to work pretty good, it would work even better if the city slicker stacking the hay will learn how to tie the togeather the right way. But it does give me something to give the guy a hard time about, he was raised in NY city and now is tring to become a farmed at the age of 56, maybe in a few years he will learn the ropes.

Hey Rich, you still getting that liquid sunshine on that downed hay? Sunny and breezy here today.

Yep still raining on and off here, but we need it so I'm not going to complain much about wet hay. Shoot if we get enough rain I might even get another cutting in a month or 2, if I'm likey which I have been in years. Shoot 10 years ago we always had a 2nd cutting but in the last 4 or 5 years we have been lucky just to get one cutting

Hi Gary; Happen to have a picture of how he attached the back board frame? Welded or bolted? He obviously did a good job. Is that channel iron 1/4 inch? And a question for any one, If I extend the center pole to accomidate a longer wagon (its adjustable) from the present 14 feet to 16 or 18, do I need to re-enforce the pole in any way? What would be the minimum? This one is two square tubes with a smaller square as the extension. Not sure of the size right now but probably 4 inch on the large tube. Needs a new floor now. Bob

The web on the channel is 3/16's.

The back is just welded to the cross channel.

It is a 16' rack and axles are 120" C/C.

No reenforcement needed on that length of wagon reach.
