i was readin the thread below about the length of a ford 8n, and your post. how the hell you reckon he got that in the back of his truck?
 
not very hard at all. just back in the ditch and drive in from the road. or back up to a loading ramp and drive in. i have hauled a farmall A in the back of my 1974 Ford XLT.when the truck was about 3 yrs. old. also hauled my McCormick W12 home in the back of my 1995 Ford 1/2 ton. laid 3x12s on box floor to drive on.no big deal just get lots of looks on highway.
 
He lived close to an area we called dead mans curve. He would back his truck up to that hill side and then drive in down and in to his truck. Then when he got to my place we just drove in into a small creek bed I have and drove it off and he loaded it the same way when he took it home. I had it here so I could switch it to a 12 volt system for him and that was about the same time I started to post here. Boy it seems like yesterday but then
 
my late father talked about hauling his 8N,(I still own that pickup-'66 GMC )I have,however hauled a Cub farmall in my '70 Ford 1/2 ton.Just drove it up some ramps.
 
The older pickups had beds that were the same width front to back I have hauled several in the back of the pickup. Now with the tapered beds the width just isn"twide enough.
 
Could that truck have been one of the older models with a 9' bed? Even at 9' the tractor would be to long to get completely in the bed.
 
He did not close the tail gate if I remember right. Iy has been at least 10 years since he had it and that tractor here. Also if I remember right he backed it in so that the rear wheels sat sort of behind and sort of on top of the fender wells of the truck and that helped hold the tractor in place
