I have a Ford 515. A little back story, I've put equip. together on the cheap to square bale a few acres for the pasture pets. The tractor projects that I found to this point are a 641 and a 2N. I probably was doing it wrong but dismounting and mounting the mower was so frustrating that I just left it on the 2N, dedicating that machine to mowing 3-4 times a year. I found another 641 for scrap price, and cleaning it up. My plan for the 641 is it gets my good tires and other value parts from the N. The N will have little value after that and I have a plan for that. My needs and shed space will be fulfilled by the two 641.
So what I want to do now is get the 515 more easily "mountable" so the second 641 is not dedicated. I really don't want to change mowers as the unit I have does a good job and my rehab pennies are in it.
To the question finally....does anybody have suggestions for a rack of stand or other technique to keep the 515 from rolling around like a fish when off the tractor?? Such a pain in the butt for me by myself putting it on. I haven't gotten it around to the welder and short iron pile to brainstorm but thought about suggestions from any experienced here.
Sorry so long and thanks to all for the years of insight I have gotten from this forum as I have played with this old stuff.
