I don't know exactly why I like this old cart enough to pound the keyboard at length about it, but here I am doing it some more.I discovered that the back wheels were frozen solid. I pulled out the big cotter pins to discover these very unusual bearing. Like a flat roller bearing, but no cage or anything to imprison the 
rollers. You can pull them all out clean it up and reassemble. There's a grease zerk, but I decided that rather than give them a shot of grease, I'd need to clean them up and give them a fresh start on life. I'll give them a day soaking in Kroil (very good stuff...I like it better than PB Blaster) and then see if I can get them apart.
