Tow dolly

[Dennis Hagen]

I have  a Demco tow dolly and have not used it for a torque ball Buick. Has any one used one and what distance did you tow? I am thinking it could be used for short distances.

Thanks

What year and model?

I think you’ll be good for short , low speed shuttling of your Buick.

Let our Buick experts chime in, but.......

 

back in the 60s I was always using used, questionable  batteries for my beautiful Laurel Mist

58 Special coupe....... due to lack of funds!  Many times I enlisted friends to push start me!

 

set it in neutral, get ‘er up to about 25 mph, then drop it into drive.......vrooom!  Fired right

up.   This worked due to the  Dynaflow having a rear pump and at that speed , had enough ummmph thru

the trans to spin the engine.

however, I don’t know if damage might occur towing longer distances, or at higher speeds.   I suspect 

that it would be inadvisable in that scenario.....

It is too easy to get a flatbed hauler to do the move. I have a choice of three on my phone list now.

I had a not so bright idea of putting my 51 Super on the dolly backwards for a trip from Mn to Az, after a 5 mile test drive I realized it was a bad idea and had it shipped. I bought a 56 Century about 25 miles away and could of used it but called a flat bed instead. I was concerned about the torque ball but when I got it running found I had to replace the torque ball anyway. Think I will try to sell the dolly. Thanks for the reply’s.
