Many of their flat wagons didn't.

This thread was about a model B grain drill not a farm wagon. Many JD wagon gears had tapered roller bearings. JD model 943 wagon which was introduced in 1947 had tapered roller bearings

I had a perfect Plan B, but it fell through. My neighbor had a tandem 4 place snowmobile trailer, but he sold it. Here is a pic of my snowmobile trailer. The stick is 11' from the shovel at a diagonal.

I would be a bit leery of a grain drill on that trailer. Might be fine but.

I sold a 13 run drill to a guy who drove several hours to get it. Loaded it crossways on a U-Haul open top cargo trailer. We unbolted the hitch and he left with it.

We have that exact grain drill,it's bigger and heavier(top heavy) than you think.Also have the same snowmobile trailer;wouldn't try to haul that drill on that trailer!
Beg ,borrow or steal ,rent HD flat-bed.

Thanks. I figured it looked sketchy. I figured the grain drill weighed 1300#. The problem is that the load would be tail heavy.

What do you figure that grain drill is worth?

It depends on it’s condition, but I would think in a range of say $900 to $2000. It has the small seed box and it looks like it doesn’t have a fertilizer so it shouldn’t be too rusty.

Guys take them and cut them in half so a ATV can pull them.
