An M is only 5000 pounds if it's missing a few major cast iron parts... And no way it'll fit on anything Uhaul rents out, that's for sure.

So, you're going to need a REAL trailer, and a real truck to pull it with. 3/4 ton pickup, minimum, preferably a 1 ton dually.

Your major trailer issues will be width and weight. Most car haulers are way too narrow unless you narrow the tractor itself up. You have to take one or both rear wheels off and turn them around so they're dished in, and if it has a wide front end, slide that in too... Problem with that is we're talking about bolts that probably haven't seen a wrench in decades... They're probably rusted solid by now. Wide fronts are notoriously difficult to adjust on old tractors.

If you can get an 8 foot wide trailer, you're golden. It'll have a high enough weight carrying capacity and it'll be wide enough to load the tractor on.
