In Reply to: Hauling M tractor posted by jerry hakenwerth on March 30, 2011 at 13:00:52:
We bought a new PJ tandem axle car hauler trailer that has removeable fenders and an 84" deck width. We take the left side fender off, back our '49 M on (the rear wheels are dished out) clearing the right fender and backing on the trailer wheels a little bit, but it doesn't hurt 'em any. When the tractor wheels are on beyond the fender locztion we put the fender back on, the tractor wheel/tire is over the edge maybe 2" max., no problem. We put the tractor tight against the fender and chain it down. We cut two holes in the front mud shield right at the bolster end and put the chains there hooking on the tractor frame on each side and secured to the trailer stake pockets on each side, hooked as tight as possible. At the tractor rear we put a chain through two clevises, one at each side of the loop drawbar and secured on pockets at the front of the trailer then use a turnbuckle type binder to tighten eveything up. Leave the tractor in low with the brakes locked on. Using 3/8" chain everything is secure. The '49 M weighs 5825# with two sets of weights and 13.6-38 Titan tires not loaded. You could turn the trailer upside down and the tractor wouldn't fall off....unless the trailer buckled. Oh, we weighed the trailer wheels with the M loaded as explained above and the scales showed 6920#. The trailer is rated 7000# so it's legal. I'd guess the tongue weight at about 600#.
