Jd 440 barn find

Post by 10oaks » Thu Jun 10, 2021 9:36 pm

Newbie question, can a 440 roll if being winched on to the trailer , or is a wrecker the best option , been sitting covered for years , not running , owner passed , may score it for free , but loading it is my main hurdle , figure I would need to pull the blade so it would reduce the weight , I have a crane on my work truck , but will only handle 3600lbs , any insights would be appreciated, thanks

I picked up a 40c that had been sitting under an apple tree for years with the motor seized solid. It rolled free, I just had to lift the blade and chain it up. Your experience may vary!
have 40c 4 roller crawler, 1927 Ford T Touring car, 1931 Ford A Roadster, 1951 Standard Vanguard Saloon. Never a dull moment!
