G wheelbase

OK, I've looked everywhere but can't find it, even checked the official Nebraska test #398. What is the wheelbase of a G?
 
Thanks Lonnei. So then, about how far does the engine "shroud" protrude behind the OD of the rear wheels, and the front "nose" in front of the OD of the front wheels? I just gotta get one of these in my shed so I can answer my own questions.
 
So while you're out measuring, with just the drawbar on the rear of the tractor, no rear cultivator gang, how tall could front rail on a trailer be for the tractor to back over the rail until the rail hit the rear tires?

I'm working on trailer weight distribution. If I try to haul a G on an 8 foot trailer bed, it's sort of like putting 5 pounds into a 2 pound box - a 116" long tractor on a 96" long trailer bed! Back of rear tires to front of front tires must be about 99" - just 3" longer than the trailer bed! Not much wiggle room!
 
Thanks Lonnie, for all the help. Hope it's warmer in your shed for measuring than in mine. It does appear that axle location and tongue length on the trailer will be critical to hauling one on an eight-foot trailer bed. Backing on, one could easily get too much weight on the tongue. Driving on forward, not enough. Now I have some trailer measuring and calculating to do. Thanks again. - leon
 
Lonnie, so would the front end frame and steering mechanism clear a 16" high front trailer gate so the front tires could come forward the whole way to the gate?
 
Lonnie, a better way for me to have ask that question would be how high a front gate will the front end frame and steering clear and allow the wheels to come up against the front end of the trailer?
