For safety in towing, show, parade, I would like to eliminate the hook type and the twist clevis hook up...less flip-flop around. This was ok for in the field. Any suggestions for modifications so as to using a hitch pin? [Reply]   [No Email]

I did that when I towed this down the interstate !!!! and then down some back roads. Yes, I bolted the clevis tight to hitch in back of a Honda SUV. Thanks for the thoughts.   [Reply]  [No Email]

This would still keep it basically intact and looking mostly original.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I have a John Deere 4-16's that the tail wheel can be lock by just dropping a pin in a hole on it.   [Reply]  [No Email]
