I know guys, this isn't recommended, but it is the only thing we have to pull the M up to the cabin with. Our cousin wouldn't borrow us their new Excursion for the weekend... Here is how we are going to do it, and the equipment we have: 1) 2000 GMC Sierra with Tow/Haul, ext cab, 4 wheel drive, and Z-71. Class IV hitch.
2) A 2,000#trailr with a 14,000# CAP with surge brakes, and 4 heavy duty chains/binders. (Dual axles)
3) 1940 Farmall M with nearly a full tank of gas, all the fluids, NO wheel wieghts, but fluid in the rear. Here's the plan: Pull at 50-60 MPH on the 70 mph interstate, stopping every 25-40 miles to check chains/binders. We are going roughly 150 miles. and the minimum on he interstate is 45 mph. Any tips appreciated on the haul. Now for a couple questions...
1)The rear tires are about 2 inches too wide on each side of the trailer between the fenders. (The traier is 81" wide between fenders, the M is 85 1/2" outside) How can I load it so the wieght is 60/40? I was going to back it on, and put beams inside the fenders to keep them from crushing, since all the wieght is on the beams. But if I back it on will I be too front heavy? Any suggestions? Still gotta load it up. Thanks in advance!

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
