When considering a rolling project how do you guys moving them around? Brute strength? Tow rope attached to the family minivan for rolling up the slope? Wouldn't it be cool to have a little Ford tractor to do the towing? I wonder if anybody has tried even a riding lawnmower? Do any of those have the power? Maybe I could get a John Deere and put a Ford sticker on it.

My forklift truck does a great job of moving any of my vehicles.

 

Wow, I would love a fork lift. But, I don't think that John Deere makes one.

I use a farmall cub, its my "right hand man"

 

I have a friend with a heavy duty riding lawn mower that will tow a car around a flat yard as long as the car rolls well.

My Oliver tractor will pull this setup up a steep hill: hook a 55 F100 to a flatbed car hauling trailer and load a 50 F-2 with 400 pounds of welded on bumpers onto the tailer.

 

I use a Honda ATV. But then, I'm still just rolling around a chassis. When the truck was together it was running.

 

I used a JD790 until I sold the F3, the house and the tractor!!

 

Sure they do.

 

Like this? An old tire hung on the front of the bucket and no damage to the vehicle. The Ford did the duty for a long time.

 

Holy cr*p, that would be great! Jag

 

Used my 46' untill I sold it I don't have any flat ground so my small tractor only works in the shop



Winch pulls just about anything

 

I have used my honda 4x4 ATV to move my f100s and my f-4 that seems to work

 

I have to rely on brute strength. The driveway apron to my backyard is really steep, there is no pushing anything up it. For that I have a T post drove in the ground that I can hook a come-a-long too.
The driveway up into my garage also has a pretty good slope to it. For that I've managed by getting a running start and then sheer grunt work. I've been meaning to bolt a plate to the floor of my garage that could be used as an anchor point for a come-a-long, a winch, a chain pull, tubing bender, etc


Right now I have a 58 Massey Ferguson TO35 that I've been rebuilding, but I haven't pulled anything around with it yet.

 

I did just recently pick this up for 2000 dollars, I'm sure this will do it

 

Jafo, $2000 for an 8N? That is awesome, a great buy. Now you fit in with all those Lancaster County natives! Pretty soon you will have a PADutch accent! My Dad had a 48 8N he used on our farm. Great tractor.
