Nice pictures of the truck. That tow bar reminded me of the one we made for towing a VW Super Beetle using conduit. The Beetle was made in 1972 and the engine had been stolen and I bought it in 1973. They left a 1600cc engine and I rebuilt the engine. It had a piston that had a burnt hole. One of my co-worker's told me that was caused by the engine being run too lean. I found that out when I had the engine running. One of the VW technician's at the local VW shop said to open the main jet screw. I had the shop manual and it said not to change the setting.

I had it painted at a local body shop. I towed it there with that home made tow bar. We had a snow storm and the snow was deep and I had to move the Beetle to clear the driveway.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
