Hay wagon running gear...

That being said, my summer project is building a blind on an old gravity wagon.

I hope your earpro is platinum level quality.

Phylo, check out ground blinds made from cattle panels. Super simple and you could fit in your truck bed. Google up "Cattle Panel Deer Blind"

Here's an example.

How many gravities will a gravity wagon hold?

One usually fills it. They make excellent blinds. Higher than a hay wagon and sturdier. Generally tows better. Built in shooting rail if you put the floor at the right level.

We're planning several of those around our primary farm for next year. We may put one at the other property where the wagon blind is needed but it's a tough place for ground level hunting. None of the trees are large enough to hang stands in and everything was planted at the same time so there's almost a hard line where the foliage starts about 3' off the ground and it's wide open below that. We've had the one pop up blind set up out there since before turkey season and the deer still never take their eyes off of it. Even though it's brushed in pretty well at the base of a big pine it still stands out. Most of the trees are oaks and still holding leaves so something elevated on a minimal platform should work better for us.

The process should be the same as a FB or CL trailer, all are home built…

That's what I figured though, the parts kit would at least have a somewhat more official bill of sale to work with.

Just call it home built, get the documents signed by LEO and get your title. Never had a problem with it, even with an obvious manufacturer built trailer.

Deer rifle is suppressed. Hopefully the barrel and whatever blast is left stays outside. Ear protection will be used to start out and see how it goes.
