What you might do to get it home is bring your trailer, air tank, come-along, snatch block, and a piece of 6" or 8" channel iron as long as the outside width of the tires, chains and binders.

Blow the tires up if possible then drag tractor onto the channeliron settin on the ramps lettin both tires sit on top of web of channel iron. Then chain channel iron to tractor wheel hubs, then hook your snatch block to front of tractor and your come-along to front of trailer, the drag the whole mess up onto the trailer where the channel iron will hold the back of the tractor up when loaded on the trailer. Sweat alot tho!! :)But is it ever so much fun.

What the snatch block does is give a 2 to 1 pull, so lets say your come-along is rated 4tons doubled on it's pulley, add the snatch block and another 4tons of pull is gained. Of couse you'll need several chains and binders. Grease on the bottom side of channel iron helps too if needed.

A few things to look for:
- Remove the inspection covers, wiggle the rods to see how loose the rod bearings are.
- While in there, run your hand up in the sleeves and feel for rust, this will provide a good indication of how tight the engine may be stuck.
- Be sure the carb, manifold, and mag are included in the deal. Go for it, take a chance, restoring something from the dead is what this hobby is all about.
