Hi all,

So my little guy just turned 1.5 this week and had been running around almost 2 months and started pulling his large construction vehicles around and I remembered I had a red wagon growing up manged to get my parents to find it and I want to "pass" it onto him.

Wagon is in good condition one or two bolts to replace but I believe a bit of a crack in the one wheel. I'll have it in person tomorrow but any idea how to replace these wheels even if it is replacing the whole axel and wheel have no idea where to start looking tho.

This thing is rock solid similar to the radio flyer ones likely a "knock off" back in the day but still made out of metal etc.

Stainless 6mm (measure the axle, guessing 6mm will fit) ready rod and some stainless lock nuts will do you for the axle..

Then for wheels, most hardware stores should have something like this you can use:


Just take note of the diameters and pick up some bearings if you need to, to help adapt the wheel to match the axle size..

Nice. I got my kids a Radio Flyer like I used to have.

How are the wheels mounted?
