What I am wondering is.... Why not tow it with the rear end on dollies? Every tow truck driver here in Manitoba has them by law- perhaps I am missing something germain to this? Or - why not tow it backwards, with the the driven wheels up in the air? Any information here would enlighten me - as I am in the dark on this. Marshall Ruskin
