I'm not familiar with the physical size or weight of an IH 660, but back in the '70's was a mobile home manufacturer in Elkhart, IN. named Skyline. I used to see a guy tote 14x65's around with a smaller Ford after they came off the finish line. Has been many years and am thinking was a N series. Has been like 30 years and the mind's a little cloudier, but don't remember it being a Powermaster or anything like that. Am pretty certain was a N. He didn't have any weights on it, and I remember seeing him get into it hard on a few take offs and pull the front end up for a couple of feet, but he didn't slow down. It'd come down, and he'd wheel them around back for delivery. Man that guy had a lot of confidence (experiance). Once he'd get going, he'd thottle up and wheel them things around like was doing the Indy 500 all day long every day. Weights or not, just be careful, easy on the take offs, and take it slow. Maybe make a career out of it. Maybe not. Mark
