My brother found a car hauler type trailer in the Kansas City area that is wide enough on the deck to allow a Farmall M to be loaded on it with the rear wheels dished out--with 13.6-38 tires. The aluminum fenders are meant to be removeable and you have to remove one of them(the left one to place the little offset of the load to the up/in side), then replace it after backing the tractor on. It's not a whole lot of trouble though and you can leave the rear tractor wheels turned the way most of them were when the tractor was used for farming. We place the tractor so the rear wheels are just ahead of the fenders and this makes the tongue weight about right for our trucks--95 F150 4WD and '77 F250 2WD. When I see a M at a show with the rear wheels dished in, it usually means it's a puller tractor or it gets loaded on a car hauler trailer that isn't wide enough for it if the wheels are dished out, or both. To me a midwestern type M show tractor should have it's wheels dished out. Anyhow, this trailer is a "PJ-Seminole" manufactured unit, 18 feet long, 83 inches wide, with a 4 foot dovetail and appears to be pretty well built. You gain about 6 inches width clearance, up to 89 inches, when removing both fenders, but we can load our M okay when just one fender is removed. The tractor is right at 85 1/2 inches wide. Someday we'll get a three axle flat deck gooseneck type we hope, until then, it's our little 7000 lb. car haulers I guess. We haul any extra weights in the pickup bed anyway. I hauled my John Deere #55 3-14 plow and our H Farmall tractor to the Wauseon show with this trailer okay, plow on first, then the H. It balanced out and towed fine.
