Harry is known to antique tractor enthusiasts all over the country as a man with an outstanding collection of more than 50 restored "classics" and as the man who's put together some of the most unusual one-of¡a-kind antiques ever built, including a couple side-by-side "triple tractors" and a copy of a Farmall prototype tractor that no longer exists. When Harry got frustrated with not being able to show off his steel-wheeled tractors in parades unless he put them on trailers, he set out to find a solution. He designed a 3-wheel dolly that tows from the front and holds the tractor just 4 in. off the ground so people can get a really good look at it. To build the dolly, he used two F-20 Farmall front spindles, round spoke wheels, rubber tires, a crazy wheel off an IH mower, and part of the frame off the mower. The front wheel on the dolly can be left down on the ground, or raised up so the steel front wheel rolls on the ground. "I've pulled it over the road for more than 100 miles with no problems. It installs easily with a couple wrenches and a hammer. "The attached photo shows the dolly mounted on my 1923 Experimental Regular Farmall (SN#296). To my 'knowledge, there are two of these tractors that exist out of the 26 prototype models built. Some 200 production models were later produced in 1924."
