With a full tank of fuel it is difficult to push the airplane in to the
hangar without help. Additionally, the airplane wash racks/fuel pumps are a
good distance from our hangar and requires towing the airplane on active
taxiways. So, I bought a 1994 Montgomery Wards riding mower, rebuilt it and
made it into an airplane tug. Here is a link to our web page with photos of
what I did.

And for some strange reason my plane gets heavier and harder to push back in
to the hangar with each year. I am trying to adapt a Jazzy Scooter for use a
s a tug. Just haven=99t found the time.

I used a battery powered winch at the back of the hanger, with a remote
control to run it while it pulled the plane into the hanger (uphill) and I
steered from the front. ~ $70 at Harbor Freight
Wouldn't solve the "going to the gas pump".
Nice work Galin

And now I have the only "classic" airplane tug at the airport. It is quite
the spectacle when I drive it around with a drink in the coozy holder and
the beacon flashing away. Even I have to chuckle.
