Any one know or have experience with how much weight a stock original N type bumper will support?
I am thinking of using the N to position a trailer in the barn. I know the drawbar will handle it but I really do not want to unhook an implement to position the trailer every time.
Kinda hard to position the trailer with a crew cab PU in tight quarters.
Trailer has about 500lbs tongue weight.
Will the original style bumper handle that weight?
Next question; Anyone have experience with an aftermarket bumper as it would apply to the same question?

My 8n with OEM rivited front bumper 'noses' my 16' car hauler trailer around with a ball onthe front bumper. trailer weight is 1740# and I'd guess 500# tounge is good and close guess.
