[Street] FSU-First Night planing ... little red wagon

I just realized that front wheels of little red wagon are not operating, so
well. I have liberally doused the axle with WD40, to no avail.

It's odd - if I push the wagon backwards, the front wheels turn, but they
do not turn when pulling forward.

Do we have a wagon mechanic?

Should I still bring wagon to GA, tonight?

Please advise,

Greg
