I believe you have the same kind of tractor my FIL has, He bought his MANY years back from a guy that had gotten them all from the city of NY. IT is yellow with huge wheels in the front and I forget what size in the rear but they arent a standard size. Looks almost like a M? but YELLOW! has the cab and all on it. with a door in the back. He only runs hos a few days a year. He's told me a story of how he got it from LOng island to upstate Ny, about a 250 mile trip. This was before cammeras[ haha- well at least digital], DOT all over the place, and sue happy people I guess,,I actually cringe when I hear him tell the story] He had a older International flatbed probably 1 1/2 ton,,well he lifted the plow, got it on the rear of teh flat bed . chained her down by the blade and away he went!! Never get away with that today, I dont know if I would try.. But I guess that was in the times of neccasity and get it done with what you had.. not everyone had a gooseneck and truck and trailer like today,, can you imagine trying that today?? he knows he never would get off his road.. He also brought a pony from his house on LI to upstate NY in the back of a VW bus,, oh well I love hearing him tell of what could be done, sometimes I shake my head,, as does he now haha.
