I had a little adventure picking up my MF 202 with a loader, which I bought last summer. I had driven it to my sons house in St. Johns. I borrowed my neighbors implement trailer, because it had it parked in the field I picked it up with my 3020 JD, I have a three point attachment with a receiver. I thought it took a 2&3/16 ball, but it would not let the ball in so I went home and got a 2 inch ball figuring my memory was faulty (not a non-normal situation). I then hooked it to my HD 2500 Silverado and headed out. When I got to my son's house I tryed to back the tractor onto the trailer to get the weight forward. When I got to the wooded portion of the trailer beaver tail it spun-out and I let it roll back down the ramps. The trailer came unhooked and the ramps folded up allowing the trailer to roll forward off the ramp supports. The trailer tongue hit the bumper dead on the license plate destroying the bumper sheet metal (it was pretty rusty and had been hit before on both ends). I hooked the trailer back up and drove the tractor on with no issues, chained it down to YT standards ( I should have inspected the hitch). When I started forward it popped off the ball, no damage this time it just dropped down on the safety chains. Now I focused on the ball and I got a 2&3/16 ball off the floor on the passenger side and tried it in the hitch and it fit perfectly. So I changed the ball and hitched up and went home with no issues (the 2500 has the 8.1 with the Allison trans and pulls smoothly). Evidently when I attempted initially to hitch to the 2 & 3/16 ball something in the hitch was frozen or rusted and came loose in the trip over(I had sprayed the hitch with oil). The 2500 now has a new bumper, which it needed anyway, I got lucky.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
