A friend came from Bowbells ND in 1973. He said they had a neighbor with a similar setup.

Back in the early fifties (I think) a man in Canada built the hitches to mount two tractors together. He would make them for any tractors that you wanted it to fit. If you go to the Labor Day weekend at Rollag, Mn. you can see a couple makes set up that way.

Glen Monroe from Ontario Canada. Here is a You Tube video with him talking about the tandem tractors.
