Thanks for the photo showing the draw bar.  Does anyone know if there should be a flat spring on the front axel of the wagon that is similar to the front axle of the tractor.  My wagon doesn't have one.

Drawbar, sorry small photo, it is just a length of bent wire.

You're having a run of luck here and things come in three sometimes so another one may be around the corner  :)

After finding that Mamod TE1A at the flea market two weeks ago
https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/general-discussion/todays-flea-market-find/ (https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/general-discussion/todays-flea-market-find/)

Today I stopped at an estate sale, and found this.

Another TE1A,  seems to be a bit older vintage, a bit worse in shape, but came with an incomplete wagon that is in very nice condition (minus the missing draw bar). 

I am not familiar with the various iterations of this model.  I see the canopy attaches differently, there is no site glass on the back of the boiler, etc. 

I may be passing this one on to another member here who said he was looking for one.  But I will be keeping the wagon as this is the first of these I have found.  (does anyone have a picture of the draw bar?)

I paid $70.00 for this one.
