Some early Borg Warner automatics had an oil pump driven by the output shaft. If this is true on yours then towing it 4 down wouldn't be a problem, if the transmission was left in Neutral. Get the model number off a tag that's riveted to the side of the transmission. Google it and find out if you have an oil pump that's driven by the output shaft.
Yes, that's true, it may have a rear pump. Some older automatic transmissions with rear pumps would allow you to push start if the engine wouldn't turn over for whatever reason. You had to get the vehicle up to about 20 mph in neutral, then put it in drive/low, then off you go. Without more info on the transmission, I'm not sure I would be comfortable towing it in neutral while generating oil pressure though.

- Both! The flat head is the original engine and is what currrntly powers it. The Cummins 4bt and Allison tranny are included in the price but not installed. The current owner was probably going to convert it from the gas engine to the Diesel engine and has just given up on the project.

Read the ad It makes no sense
A) Has a flathead 6 with automatic borg warner transmission. B) Comes with a 4bt cummins engine and Allison transmission that alone cost $4,900
SO what does it have A or B ????????????????????- It would be a unique toad. Probably not practical but unique and cool. :C
- What a classic!

- Automatic so no. Trailer or you could do what Bill says if you want to flat tow it and get a driveshaft disconnect system.

Yea on a trailer, I would not flat tow it..
totally agree...on or in a trailer. watch your weights.- Yes, and you likely don''t need a trailer. You will need to contact a driveshaft shop that deals with the Remco Driveshaft disconnect systems and then you will need to have a shop fabricate a towing base plate. There's a great place in Elkhart, IN that can make a base plate for most anything you bring them.
