Time To Fix my Jubilee, Finally

I loaded it on a 12 foot trailer. It has duel wheels and elec brakes. Tied it down with heavy chains, front and back. Took a thirty foot chain and wrapped it around the trannie and anchored it to the sides. Attached four run of the mill tie downs. Put 4X4's in front and back of all the tires and nailed them down. Drove the twenty miles without any problems. Oh! did I mention? I towed it with my 96 GMC Sunoma. I'm sure I'll hear about that. No big hills and I watched out for the traffic.

I'm going to buy a 12 X 20 foot tent and do my repairs under canvas. I'm going to trench in 3- 4X4 eight foot timbers under the rear and the front wheels for jack stand stability.

I've been searching the archives for info, but I know I'll be on here a lot asking questions and what to do next. I've got cal clor in the tires so I think, while the tractor is still on the trailer, I'll make a trip to the local car wash and clean it up a bit. There doesn't appear to be any oil leaks. The tractor hasn't run in 8 or 10 years and has only been under roof to get repaired. Other than that it has never had so much a tarp on it. A lotta surface rust but that's all.

More later

At the risk of being politically incorrect, I want to wish everyone a very, Merry Christmas.

Say, what are you folks getting your significant other for Christmas? I'm thinking about getting a floor jack for my wife. She is used to my sense of humor. Only as a fun gift, though. har, har.

I used to have a 99 ranger.. small 3.0 v6... and i towed a 2 horse bumper pull trailer with e-brakes. It didn't like hills with the ac on.. but it did it...I traded for a 'real' truck a tthe earliest opportunity though.. ( dodge ram .. twice the engine)

I too had 3 horse trailer w. tack room and living quarters. It was made of heavy steel. When I put one quarter horse and nothing else on, I was overloaded. I hauled it with a Chevy, crewcab, 454 ci. Hauled it like a dream. 9 mpg empty, 7 mpg loaded. I had a 150 gal capacity, which I needed. I have many fond memories going to those horse shows. Very political in their judging.

thanks for the reply, oslo
