My thoughts are hold my beer and watch this, You are off you head, I wouldn't do it.
I towed a 30ft 22.000 gvw gooseneck, with a 5 ton tractor on with my 99 f250 SD long box ext cab 4x4 with 7.3 diesel. it had loads of power for speed and with elect brakes and 4 wheel discs on the truck stopping wasn't a problem driving sensibly , but the truck wasn't enough in the suspension department or the weight for my liking.
If you are going to do this with a pintle hitch it will probably handle like a battleship in 50ft swell, your suspension probably won't like it, and you may be sea sick if you get to your destination alive or without killing someone else . I said never again with my truck for that weight, that tractor and trailer was slightly over it's limit that I felt comfortable with. If you get stopped by the DOT they might like to see your check book as well for being over loaded.
My buddys thinking of towing a JCB 3c backhoe that weighs 7 or so ton with his 22.000 30ft gooseneck and his one ton heavy duty Ford, I think he's mad I'll tell you how that went next week if the machine gets a deal done on it. Regards Robert

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
