AC7060IL, I don't know for sure and don't seem to be able to find out for sure but if I was to guess I would say EWC. IBWDMike, I could send it down to you and you could just do all the work for me out of the kinds of your heart, yep I think this is the best idea I've come up with in a while. David, I could do that but I would've to make a list of things that the old girl needs and you and Doc could fix her up for the privilege of me letting you store it for me. Daehler, no it isn't

Turns out your guess is correct. Since you posted your reply, I read the following from Norm Swinford’s “1914-1985 AC Farm Equipment”, page 290. “Wagons, flare boxes, & barge boxes were purchased from Electric Wheel, a division of Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Quincy, Illinois. Due to their limited capacity the flare and barge boxes were soon dropped, but the wagons remained available.” |
