Moto Tug

This is the heavy duty dual rear wheel model BNO-40 Harry Ferguson, Inc.
S/N 2269

Weighing 5700 pounds.

Approximately 3070 were built from April 1943 to 1945. The museum also has three weights (300 lbs, 600, lbs, and 1200 lbs) that would be behind the driver's seat. The weights are not currently on the vehicle. The front bumper and rear fenders are made from 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch armor plate steel and this alone provides enough weight for what the museum uses the tug for.
