After lurking on the list for several years, I've finally bought my first
tractor, a '41 
"B", serial #109494.  Got it on Ebay yesterday... item #3858464891.  I know
the 
price looks high when compared with other parts of the country, but for my
area it's 
pretty good, especially if the condition proves to be as described.
Needless to say, 
having looked, wished & waited many years for my chance at some green &
yellow, 
I'm pretty excited. First task is to bring it home... its located in Marble
Falls, Texas, 
about 70 miles away. I'm planning on renting a trailer that's 3,000 lbs
capable and 
tying down with four aircraft cargo tie-down straps using an "X" pattern on
the 
outboard rear axles to opposite trailer corners in the rear and a similar
arrangement 
on the front.  Three requests for the list:  I'd appreciate any suggestions,
cautions, 
tips, etc., on getting my treasure loaded and tied-down correctly/safely...
this will be 
my first ever tractor load & trailer.  I'd also appreciate a basic list of
manuals and 
other literature applicable to a '41 "B" serial 109494 and a #5 JD sickle
mower that I 
need to start searching for.  Lastly, is the #5 JD sickle mower that comes
with this 
purchase a correct mower for this tractor? 

Thanks in advance.
