Wagon Wrench Makes Dump Chute Easy To Open
![]() |
"When wagons are full it's always difficult to open the chute because the weight of the grain is against the door and the small diameter wheel can be quite a chore to turn," says Glen A. Wells, Spencerville, Ohio, about his "Wagon Wrench".
The fold-out handle attaches to the wheel with two bolts. It consists of a piece of 1-in. sq. tubing about 2 ft. long that fits inside a length of channel iron that runs across the width of the wheel. When needed, you just pull out a pin and fold it outward, using the added leverage to turn the wheel.
"We made a portable version a few years ago but then we always had to look for it when we needed it. This new version is always on the wagon."
Wagon Wrench sells for $29 (plus $6.50 shipping). Wells would like to work with an existing company to manufacture and market the idea.
