This exact scenario has gone through my head many times while tooling back and forth to our farms in my white 4-150. I actually think towing it is a disaster waiting to happen. I think the transmission or differentials would be the least of your problems if you tried to tow that beast. It would never track good behind you. Would take you right in the ditch with it. I would find a person with a dozer and a lowboy trailer to go to the tractor and use the dozer to push it on the lowboy. Truck it the 15 miles and pull it off there. Now go back and pick up the dozer and be done with it. Getting it home will be the easy part. Working on that t/a will be the real job. Motor has to come out, radiator,cab lifted, transmission shaft, lots of work. Keep us posted on how that t/a job goes (cost, time required, level of difficulty.) I may have to do mine soon. I actually have considered putting a gear driven hi/low from a 4-180 in mine as opposed to the t/a. I think it would be a very reliable tractor if the t/a was eliminated. That is defenitely the weak link on a 4-150. They are really an ideal sized 4wd tractor because they are actually small compared to the giants in that class yet are capable of lots of good pulling power and traction. Good luck. let us know how it works out.
