Our Authentic Working Wagon Seat Hardware Kit

Ships directly from an Amish shop. Please allow 3-4 weeks to ship.

The kit uses a 24" spring as the standard size. You may select the 18” spring set if you prefer this size, but it will be powder-coated regardless of your choice. The 18" springs are less popular than the 24" for stocking in the unfinished version.

The 24" spring measures 8-1/2" high, and the 18" spring measures 6-1/2" high. Springs are 1-1/4" wide and rated for 150 lbs. per spring or 300 lbs. as a seat pair. We also have 1-1/2" springs available, rated for 180 lbs. each or 360 lbs. as a seat pair. Please email us for more information. 

The metal will come primed and ready to paint. You may add a durable black powder-coating option for all metals.
 
Metal box cleats were used on most wagons, as shown on the old red wagon. They allowed the seat to hang on the sides of the wagon box.

The wagon seat bench kit includes instructions and measurements. These are less detailed than our ornamental kit. Your specific use will determine the seat length. The drawings will show the angles and assembly to cut the wooden parts. They will not include full-size patterns, so you will need to do some freehand drawing. The instructions do include adding a base to make this a stationary bench seat. Seat depth also varied widely across the wagon seats, with no standard. The seat arms may need to be adjusted. They are made for a 16" seat depth, while the plans will show a 14" seat depth. The Amish shop bends the arm radius back in a vise when making a 14" or 15" seat depth, until they can bolt it to the sides. Mostly, they are making seats 16" deep for more comfort. The seatback irons may also need to be adjusted depending on where you like the back to rest against your back. More forward or more slanted back.

The metal kits do not include wood or nuts and bolts.
