I may want to try and move a John Deere 105 combine from Iowa to North Missouri,160 miles. This combine has no motor. What would I need to get this job done? What is the legal heighth? What laws would I have to contend with if I were to try and haul it with a ton dually pu and a flatbed trailer?

My brother and I moved his 4400 JD combine by bolting the steering axle to the front half of a wagon running gear. He pulled it home (backwards) with his 1/2 ton two wheel drive pickup. About 60 miles at 25MPH. It worked rather well.
The steering axle was placed on top of the wagon's bolster and four 1/2 inch plates were used to tie them together. The drive couplers (transmission to final drive shafts) were removed to prevent the transmission from spinning and tearing up.

Did you get that on eBay? I saw one for $50? on eBay a couple of days ago without an engine. Sounds like you could have gotten a pretty good deal. Have fun.

Maximum legal height is 14 feet, and maximum width is 8 feet 6 inches. If your trailer is 102 inches wide the load cannot extend beyond the width of the trailer, and if your trailer is just 96 inches wide, you still cannot have the load extend beyond the width of the trailer. Removing the wheels and tires from the combine might get you down to legal height and width, but the combine will still be tall enough to create some serious wind resistance that your one ton will struggle to overcome. I won't say that it can't be done, but I think if it were me I would consider hiring a big rig with a drop deck flatbed.

I was just curious about hauling it myself. If I can find someone to haul it, like you said Iam sure that would be best. We ran my sons 105 over 712 acres in 2005.

That 105 must be in pretty good shape, 712 acres is a lot of ground. I also have been curious about transporting the older combines, sometimes they sell ridiculously cheap at farm auctions, and have engines that are still very good. I am always afraid to bid because I am sure that once you consider the expense of getting it home there would be very little profit to be made, unless you can use the parts on a machine you already own. I've even considered buying an older big rig, but the legal issues with a big rig kinda stop me.

My boys and I built a tongue that will bolt to the rear axle with flat irons ,then hook to my 4440 and take off. Pulled two 105s nearly 40 miles with no problens. We did add lights and had flagers. To raise the heads on the non running machines we plumbed in a hydraulic hose to the combine and used the tractor to raise the head, and made safty stops to lock up the head.

The cost of hauling and large combine can get expencive by the time you start buying permits for a one time move and all depends on where you are hauling from and to . Use to be , now like i said use to be that in Ind. you could haul up to 14 foot wide in farm equipment but then then learned that they could make more MONEY from selling permits and fines so now ya have to have a permit . In the Buckeye i can get a yearly premit for Ag. or constructoin up to 14 foot with escort as long as i don't go overweight for about 20 bucks or over 14 foot high . Now i have moved small combines on a one ton but like you said the wind will killya you think that you are dragen fifty ton behind ya. I hauled one littel gleaner E III from Plymouth Ind. back home and of all nite the wind was comming out of the east at around 15 to 20 MPH From Plymouth to Ft. Wayne on US 30 i ate 27 gal of gas and Ft. Wayen to Beaver Dam it took 35.6 the tanks only held 36and a half from there to Dalton it took another 32 gal and had to stop in Canton and put another 26 in it for the last thirty miles. That load pulledharder then when i was real stupid and brought back a 1066 and and 806 both with weights and duals way tomuch for a one ton and a tandem dual traiel.

You can still haul oversize farm equipment in Indiana during daylight hours without a permit as long as you're not on the interstate (which makes no sense whatsoever) I've never been stopped for it, and when stopped for some other reason they never said a thing about the load, as long as it was properly marked and secured.
In Illinois you don't need a permit at all. Iowa is about the same as Ohio on the annual permit.
