[AT] Need dimensional info for Farmall B

[pga2 at hot1.net]

Colin,
I have a B at home, but I can't help with the dimensions. 
I can, however, tell you that a B is quite a wide tractor for it's size.
I'm not sure how mine is set up, but the wheel weights on the rear scrape
the trailer fenders when I load it. My trailer is 78" between the fenders,
because I had it built to haul my Allis RC which is about 75" wide.
If your B has no rear wheel weights, it would fit on a 75" wide trailer.
Any trailer at least 12' long should be fine, as long as it's at least 75"
between the fenders/rails. If you need to remove those rear wheel weights
you will need a lot of help, or a "cherry picker" type engine hoist or a stout
limb and a lifting device. I think they're about 250 lbs. each.

Phil

>Hello,
I know a guy that is giving me a Farmall B trike, which I will be going to
pick up in the next month.  I need to know the wheelbase, as well as the range
of rear wheel widths that this would have so I can get a trailer that will
fit.  I have access to a couple trailers, but I worry they are too small.  I
know of some others that would definitely be big enough, but then I would have
to use a larger truck, which will affect my fuel costs quite a bit.  
Can anyone e-mail me the dimensional info from the owner's manual?  I seem to
remember that they have a one or two page illustration with all of the major
dimensions listed on it.  If you could do this for me, it would help me out.
Thanks in advance.
