If I remember correctly, Cage also used dragged chair sounds for the thunderclaps in "Roaratorio".

Yes, I think you are looking for: La Monte Young "Poem for Chairs, Tables, Benches, Etc". His "2 Sounds" is worth a listen :-)

This is not Cage related, but I don't know where else to ask, and surely people here will know the answer, so here you have it!
Is there a (fluxus) piece asking from the performer to slowly and steadily drag a chair on the floor, as to create a continuous sound?
Looks like La Monte Young, but I could not find it.
