Trying to find a rear hitch for a old combine

Hey folks been awhile since I been on here... anyways hey I know this is a tractor group but I was just wondering if anyone would happen to have an old john deere 95 or so hitch to pull it backwards home or to tow It? I recently acquired one and got it running. I was just wondering if anyone would have one laying around not being used. Closer to Nebraska possibly the better. Let me know thanks!!!! hoping that I can have some fun with it this fall and maybe drive it though parades. Happy restoring all!!!!
 
I use a car dolly to move my combine. Just put the steering tires in the Saddles of a car dolly them and chain them down.Unhook the final drives and drive.Limit speed to 20 mph.
 
There is a goose neck trailer with extendable slide out side, i think its made by Donahue or some company out of Kansas if you know of someone that got one, but i know the custom cutters use to use a I beam hitch to go under the machine, to pull em back wards,with the header off!
 
Look around at junk rows for an old A frame trailer. Should be some around KS,NE,SD area with a single axle in the rear. They would have a saddle for the drive wheels and maybe one for the steer wheels or maybe some sort of block on the top of the tongue for the backend of the combine to set on. Hydraulic would be a pluss for them. they will usually have a pinlte hitch ring on the tongue. Most of them would have air brakes too.
The guy I worked for a few years had 3 tubes for the trailer with saddles for the wheels with a foot under the tongue to lift it up to hitch to the truck. With a diverter valve you can use the hoist on a grain truck to lift the tongue. We did with 9600's on the trailers. they also with a pin on top of the tongue could be lifted up to hook to the truck then raised if they acted like there could be a problem raising and alignment of the hitches. When raised just slip the pin back in. He was in Kiowa KS had the OK state line sign on the back of the city limit sign, well almost.
 
I have one we used to use when we did the combine demo derbies. Slides under the rear-end and has hooks to attach chains and binders--or have a combine trailer we did the same with--What part of Neb. are you from?---Tee

Those old trucks sure earned their keep. I like the last picture where they raised the bed a jittle and probably blocked it so the combine head would clear the cab.
 
Thats some neat old pictures. I like my old truck a little more every time I drive it . I think I need to make some stock sides for it .
 
Big tee I'm north of Grand island neb or ord Nebraska and that would be nice to have something like that. Do you still have it ?
 
Have both--The A frame and the hauler. Both under the snow drifts. We are in North East Iowa---Tee
 
Ex son in law and his dad bought a jd 105 at a sale and put a towbar on the back and pulled it 10 miles home. They even left the header on it, but that is just a thing we do around here and not even think twice about it.
 
Would anyone know if someone still makes a flat bar chain for a 95 still I found I have link that's broke in half on one side... It's to bring grain chaffer and sieves ?
 
The combine hauler looks like the one posted by SV but does not have the dolly up front--it has a pinto hitch eye--I can't remember what the A-frame has--I think also a pinto eye. Biggest combine we ever hauled with the trailer was a Deere 7700 and the A-frame we pulled a 510 MF--I'll make you a heck of a deal---Tee

Ok so the one picture you've got there kinda looks like a trailer which I screenshot... I picked up from a guy he said it was an old combine trailer. He used it to haul his windrower across town to another field.... He ripped off original axle and put trailer house tires under it to follow pickup..... I'm just worried this thing might be to heavy or something and hit a bump just right and down she goes flips over etc..... Im extremely cautious most of the time and I don't wanna flip it....
I got new tires on t.h. tires and now I don't have brakes as they were rusted up etc so I removed em.
