Elvin: If it's running, drive it. If you do as some suggest and tow it even below 15 mph, driving is still the safest by far.

If it's not running, build a tow bar. Not sure if Bob M is checking in this week but he has tow bar much like a wagon tongue, hooks to the two 3/4" holes on front of narrow front end mounting. He uses it to tow his SH behind his SM or vice versa.

Don't worry about transmission or rear end when towing. I was once coming out a side road, and what did I see go by but a Chrysler mini van, pulling a MH 33 using a car tow dolly. I turned unto the road behind him, followed him for about 25 miles at speeds from 50 to 60 mph. I really didn't follow very close as I was expecting tractor rear end parts to become air borne. At that point he turned unto the freeway. I learned later he was a clergyman and he towed that tractor 80 miles that day, 30 of it on the 4 lane, and he was passing most traffic. I still don't recommend this.
