Just trying to get the donor 7520 to the shop.Going to part her out.Need the the back half of the tractor to repair ours. Tranny's out in ours so just going to switch out halves.The big gals going hard think she knows what's up.LOL! Motors blown and steering cylinders missing .So got her pinned in the center and trying to drag her along.Might have to get out the big guns to get her moved.But the Steigers still hooked to the plow.And it's at a different location.Hope you all are having a safe winter.Take Care. Happy Holidays.BlaineF(WA)

Mebby better to hook it up to the other end,might trail better.
Won't be easy for that 3 wheeler to have to look back over her shoulder this way and that the whole way, and stay in line. LOL
 
That little 3 wheeler looks kind of determined

Maybe try to make a make shift tow bar out of long lengths of pipe and bolt / clamp it to the axle of the big one -- may steer better like a wagon.
 
I think it was a mistake to pin the big tractor. Put a chain hooked to each side of the back axle (towed tractor) and put a clevis in the middle of the chain and hook it to the towing tractor.
 
I never experienced it, but I always heard if you tow a 7520 without the engine running you'll take out at least one bearing in the trans for lack of lube.

Also heard as little as 50 feet can do it if the unit has sat long enough for the oil to drain down.

Just passing along what I heard.
