I noticed that on eBay, but I cant see how it will hook onto the engine, I know the prototypes where pulled by an engine at either end of the haulage cable, but you can't do that with a Mamod You could probably solder a hook on at one end

there was an engine on one side of the field, one on the other. they took it in turns to wind in/out their cable therefore pulling the plough along!
