Picture of a 1956 Wheel Horse cart

[Lane Ranger 10,943]

There are no pictures of the earliest  Wheel Horse cart from 1956 in the gallery.     The early cart was very low, had a flat back and did not dump from what I have been told.

A friend bought a cart the other day that meets that general description.     I am posting pictures but I am not sure when it may have been made.

Nice find Lane.  If this gets identified as a 1956, go ahead and put the pictures in the Gallery.

With the decals that looks too new for a 56, @shynon has the same wagon we assumed it was from the 80's

iT IS ALL BOLTED NOT WELDED WHICH MAKES ME THINK IT IS A NEWER ONE ALSO!

Yes, that low profile cart was from the 80s.

I thought the early carts were flat angled up in the back. Kind of like the tub carts but everything is angles and not curves.

Yes I own one of the LTD-24 carts  but I think the earlier one had a flat back on it.

Thanks for the pic Craig, never saw one of those trailers or that thread before.

Just had to click the link to see those hot rod white walls too.

 Sweet little  ride, for sure.

Here's the one I have, no legible model number, has a serial # on the back gate.

Thanks Shynon and Craig for the pictures !  That helps a lot !

 

I have one of the slant backs  which I brought to the Big Show.   two years ago.   I only saw one other like it at the show.     The flat back is  earlier and more rare I would say.     The tonque mechanism is the key thing to look for on these.   I have two other tub type dump carts but one is spoken for already !
