<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Frank, I really like that dolly for
tricycle tractors! It looks like one of those round tuit projects
for me that we will keep just driving slowly or use the tilt
trailer. I moved our Allis Chalmers HD-5 bulldozer last year the
two miles back and forth between ranches towing the 26' deck
trailer with one of our JD6430's. That works well too.... Now it
is time to got to farmers market, the vehicles are loaded and I am
the last to leave.<br>

</div>
<div>The tow bars I made for the M series Farmalls attached to
the accessory front hitch plate. Since the M series front
pedestal all pivots from the front bolster shaft that gives
the tow bar complete control over the steering.</div>
<div>For a tractor with the shaft turning inside of the front
pedestal with the bearing at the bottom of the pedestal I
would feel more comfortable using a cart tow dolly than trying
too tow from the mud scraper mounts.</div>
<div>I found a picture of a tractor tow dolly... The plate on
the front hitch frame is the loading ramp. The ones I recall
just had a short ramp welded on the back that cleared the
ground about 4". I recall seeing one that had spring
suspension.</div>
<div>One of these will handle about any tricycle tractor.<br>

guy a few miles away was going down a blacktop <br>
road in road gear. He had a set of snap on duals ( the
kind where the <br>
outer set clamps onto the inner rim and not to the axle ).
As he was <br>
traveling, the inner wheel worked loose from the axle and
came off the <br>
tractor. Because the wheels were fastened together, they
did not tip <br>
over but continued down the road. Just at that time a
pick-up was <br>
passing the tractor. The duals were still turning and the
lugs of the <br>
tires caught the pick-up bumper and raised it in the air.
The speed of <br>
the pick-up and the turning duals caused the truck to go
up over the <br>
duals about ten feet in the air and about 60 feet ahead of
the tires <br>
landing on its wheels. The news report said no one was
injured but I <br>
would guess the pick-up driver needed new underwear.<br>
