[AT] Enormous grain wagon

[Kenneth Gene Waugh]

And if I am not mistaken, we used to haul 100 - 120 bushels in the old
wagons---and shovel it all by hand. I recall that a couple of my
grandfather's wagons still had old auto wooden-spoked wheels, and the
sideboards were what - maybe a foot high? As us kids left the farm, they
finally got a gravity feed wagon.
