Hello all,
Please help, I'm going to pickup a 2N that doesnt run but looks like it'll roll. I'll be renting a 16' dual axle trailer w/ elect brakes, chains, binders. I suspect I'll be using the come-a-long to inch it onto the trailer. Any tips from the many experienced members would be greatly appreciated. Whats the best procedure? Should I back it on? Where are the best points to connect to? (dont want to inflict more damage) Thank you

Pull it on nose first and set the rear wheels over the rear axel for best weight distribution. Use 2" ratcheting straps avaiable at sam's 0r home depot. One up front corner to corner and one on rear corner to corner or thereabouts. Set comealong on front for added insurance. Set tractor in first gear and set brakes if pawls are good. As long as you keep the shiney side up, you are hauling good. Good N-ing.

As Willy says, try to get as much weight as possible over the middle of the two axles. That might mean you don't go all the way forward on the trailer. If tractor has fluid in rear tires, that makes a difference on where the weight is distributed. Only time I would consider loading backwards would be if tractor brakes are no good and in that case it is safer to come off frontward (especially if someone is going to be on the tractor when it rolls off; dropping off backward with no brakes is scary). You can lower the angle of the ramps by putting the trailer wheels in a low spot. If the tractor has decent brakes, and if you have room to maneuver, you can load and unload it with a second vehicle and chain without all the elbow grease of using a come-a-long. Have a helper with a block of wood to drop in front of a wheel periodically along the way to keep things slow if brakes are suspect.

Dave, This is how I recently brought home my Ford 6000 diesel, 7000 pounds of tractor. I load my 8N the same way, except I have eve bolts in the front axle to attach to. If engine does not run, I have used truck or tractor to pull non-running tractor up onto trailer using chain and driving parallel along trailer. I use one heavy chain at back on drawbar, and two 10,000 pound 3" ratchet straps on the front. Other pictures in the 'help identify' section under 'FORD 6000'. Hope this helps. Philip.

Pull it on Nose first so the rear end weight is over the axles on the trailer. Use at least 2 chains with binders holding it down pulling agaist each other as to keep it from shifting. Once loaded set brakes and leave it in gear. A come along will work to load it no problem. When I pick them up we put a chain over the transmission housing after we bind the tractor tight to the front of the trailer. There are many ways to hook the chains on to it you can bind the chains to the rear axle also. Mark H.

Push down on the pedal and engage the Dog ear into the Pawl next to the trumpit housing where it bolts to the rear casting. The part is right at the back of the brake pedal. Mark H.
