[A/S] Hensley Adaptor-Swiss Rally
Did the subject get your attention? (c:
Out of necessity sprung a new gadget, to us anyway.. It's an adaptor to go on your Hensley if you want to get towed out by a farm tractor that has only a ball hitch. (c;
The Adaptor?
1. Go to a trailer shop and buy a 2" coupling hitch.
2. Remove the square draw bar from the receiver on your tow vehicle. At the same time the draw bar is to be left attached to the Hensley.
2. Place this coupler hitch over the square draw bar
3. Drill a hole thru both sides of the coupler to align with the already present hole that is on the side of the drawbar.
4. Slip your pin thru the hole(s) on the side of the new coupler and on thru the bar. You are now ready to be towed by anyone with a 2" or smaller ball a short distance.
We were in muck all this week at the A/S Swiss Festival Rally. As I might have mentioned earlier this week our vehicle, along, with oodles of other vehicles, had to be towed to firm terra firma after big rains. Well, today the same happened with the trailers in order to leave the parking site. The tractor driver was a busy person all week long!
Note to Dick & Jane Kenan:
Didn't catch up with your siblings at the rally. Stopped by one day and no one home - no surprise as this was a rally that kept you busy with avtivities. Yesterday when we stopped by the trailer was GONE! A neighbor said they pulled out Friday a.m. to head for the Fiddler Rally in AL.
