The old hay wagon

My grandfather had a hay wagon that was made out of an old Model T truck frame. Our cows unearthed it from under a bunch of blackberry vines this past winter. Nobody has seen this thing for years because of the blackberries that covered it.

Dad told me the other day he parked it there when he was 15 years old. He was towing it down the lane and the tie rod broke and the wheels turned in opposite directions. So he pulled it off the road, unhitched it, and left it. That was 50 years ago.


The wood deck is completely gone now. It's buried up to the axles. The tires are all flat. But it looks really cool there in the middle of this old pasture.
