First, how old is this wagon? If it’s old, find out if it’s worth anything.

Now, for the drill part:
A “drill” can refer to two things: the drill motor and the drill bit.

If all you need is the bit, any drill bit designed for metal would work. Just ask at any hardware store.

But if you need to buy the drill motor, why not just throw it in your trunk and drive to practically any kind of shop that works with tools…local mechanic, next door neighbor, etc, and just ask if they could drill a hole for you. I can’t imagine anyone asking for more than a couple bucks for that.
