Old pulling videos
|
I finally have the means to digitize old video to the computer, so I put together this video. I plan to put as many online as I can, so if you have any requests, speak up. They are from the western PA, OH area and the majority of them are from the late 80s, early 90s.
Canfield 1991 GN Super Stock |

Keep em coming! |

It was fun watching Bad Medicine back in the day at Macon... 98mph wheel speed and moving the sled above 30mph down the track.... he looked like he was gonna take the sled home to Green Castle one night, almost drug it out to highway 63 |

you wouldn't by chance or anyone else for that matter have the one from i think '76 when donaldson won the super stock class in the pulloff |

Re: Old pulling videos

Nope, sorry. The earliest ones I have are from '86 or so. You'd be hard pressed to find anything from the pre-VHS era. |

It doesn't have a pushdown like the newer sleds, just the pan drops and weight in the box stops the sled. That is Dave Hager's old sled, the Mean Green sled that Mike Hilleary has now if I'm not mistaken. |

hey thanks,that sounds like the few years that the 3000 rpm limit was tried.if im remembering right that lasted about 2 years then got the boot.there was a open rpm limit then the 3000 then back to open.i still think if the head rule would have been scratched out that the class would still be pulling in some fashion...hate to bug ya but got any from the open rpm years.btw when did you guys quit campaigning pappys pleasure,and does jim main still have the minus 2...

Re: Old pulling videos
|
I don't have any of the open RPM stuff, unless you count the one pull at Raccoon Twp. when some spun them hard and others didn't. McConnell was on fire that night; he won all three classes (45, 55, 75) and had full pulls in two of them.
Jim still has the Minus 2, it's sitting in the barn down at his place. It doesn't have the lightened front end on it now, but I saw that thing sitting in the shed last August when I was down there. I think he put a stock M engine back in it just to put around the farm. Plus, he had trouble keeping water out of the oil anyway. I'm not sure if he still has that engine; it was too big of a bore. I heard he had to leave some of the head bolts out because there wasn't anything left for the bolts to thread into. I know Dad & my uncle never pulled Pappy's Pleasure during the open RPM years. I'm not sure when they started pulling it on the circuit, but I know they ran it with "work clothes" for a while before giving it some make-up. I have some tape of it in '86 at W. Alexander, which I think is when it was just getting together because it didn't have the big tires and didn't run very good. They ran in '87 & '88, I think maybe even '89, that might be when it had the big chrome pipe on it. I would need to check with one of them to be sure. I think they quit running it since the class kind of dissolved. They didn't want to run the unlimited RPM because things break a lot easier at those engine speeds. It was out for a local fair pull around '93 or so, but that was the last it ever pulled. Too many other things going on I guess. I never got to pull it. We still have it, but it's just a carcass now. It burned up in a shed fire 11 years ago this March. We took it apart and found that the block was cracked between each cylinder from the heat. The jury is still out on the head since we haven't had it checked out by a pro as of yet. Maybe someday we can piece together another one using some of those parts. It would be nice to have that class started again since most of the "farm stock" tractors are pretty much the same as the mod stocks back then. As a side note, Jody's 460 is still pulling in the area as an "open farm stock" tractor at local fairs. |

i can remember being at jacktown one of the years of the 3000 rpm limit,it was when dambachs were pretty hot with thier 190.during that summer i think a few of the guys were thinkin a 560 was turnin a little to much,and someone showed up with a tattle tale tach and some c-clamps.it was clamped on the 560 and it run like crap,some words were said to the effect of,this ... thing is messin up my electrical system.the tach was removed and the tractor was way over 3000 and ran just fine.so who knows what happened.did you ever see kevin rainey,from enon valley pull his 88,it was pretty stout too,then jeff kennedy built a 1850 gas that he pulled for a few years too.i think lloyd has been the guy to beat for about the last 15 years tho.. |
|
Re: Old pulling videos
|
A few of those tapes had Rainey on them, not sure what was in it, but it sure sounded different. I've heard those stories about that 560. Something to the effect was asked, "How many did you turn tonight?" The answer was always "3." I also heard another one about suspecting a rather humorous helper on that 560. The cat was finally out of the bag when he got up to pull one time as the test puller. They purposely changed the setting on the sled about two or three times, making that 560 come back over and over. By the third or fourth hook, it would hardly run. So the conclusion there was that something was empty after that many runs back-to-back. |

Thanks for the video, that was interesting. Patches I have vids from the 90's on tapes, I'd have to figure out how to get them on here. If that was from 87' that was the first year my dad had his tractor running, we have a trophy from Milebranch where we won but had a cracked block and that was the only pull we went to that year. |

Here it is:
AV, I don't have the '91 pull from Columbus, and Fuelish Fan, another watcher, the amount of mod stuff I have is limited. Pale Rider, I'd love to see some of those 90's vids, I'm sure I haven't seen any of those. If there are any of Pappy's Pleasure in there, that'd be great. Look on Best Buy's website for the Hauppaugel USB-Live 2 adapter. It took me a little while to get it to work, but now that I have it set up, it works great. $50 will get it to your door.

If I remember correctly, it started raining during that class. Dad was at the sled and it started raining and he put his helmet on the stack. They waited a bit and then resumed at that point in the class. I even have had the chance to drive 2 of those tractors in that video. Thanks for the share. Edited 1 time(s).

Re: Old pulling videos

Yeah, I remember a lot of the tractors didn't perform up to snuff that day, as we were all tired by the end of that session, so we went back to the hotel and didn't even come back for the Sat. night session (I was 7 at the time and I'm the oldest of three boys, so obviously couldn't take the non-stop pulling as easily as I do now).
As for driving on of the tractors, you mean one of the tow vehicles, right? I don't think anyone but the blue shirts drive the track equipment stuff. I would really like to have one of those green White American 80 cab tractors, they didn't make many of them. Most of them were silver. If you meant driving one of those Americans, I envy you. |

I have driven Groundhog and Running Red (if i was seeing those correctly) much later in their track lives. That oil pan on Running Red looks like the one I just put out of its misery in 2010 and just scrapped a couple months ago. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/06/2012 02:08PM by AV. |

Re: Old pulling videos

I think that might have something to do with them being built in Ohio, Coldwater to be exact. Those were, at the time and maybe the last ever, tractors under 100 horsepower being built in America. |

Re: Old pulling videos

1991 Greenville OSTPA supers. It feels like I cut the run time in half by editing out commentary. These next few, for whatever reason, have commentary by Harold Walliser dubbed over the track side audio. I prefer to hear just the pull and use graphics, so I added the graphics in to cut down on the blab time. It's not the best, but it's more bearable for me to watch this stripped down version than the original tape.

Re: Old pulling videos

Just a tidbit of info on the 91 session 2 prostocks at Bowling Green.2 hours before this class started,Carl Atley's Lethal Weapon tractor was sitting on Linder's flat bed semi trailer in 2 pieces.I was there to watch and Carl ask me to help put a clutch in it.He had problems in session 1 with the clutch not wanting to release when cold and he had to kill the engine after his run to get it out of gear.We split the tractor that saturday morning,then Carl went through the pits looking for parts to fix it.He came back with the parts as they were calling the drivers to the drivers meeting.Toby and I worked our butts off getting it ready.Carl came back from the meeting and we were putting the last of the sheet metal on.Carl backed it off the trailer and got in line for the pull.We had people standing 4 and 5 deep around the trailer that morning watching us and a few people taking video. |

Re: Old pulling videos

Hey Patches
|
Patches, they changed track locations at Saxonburg at some point ? I pulled there in 81 & 82 & remember sitting on a hill.
Remember Shulers breaking the spindle on the tricyclye of the 4320, driving it home & returning with a wide front in time for 15,000. Never pulled there again till 97 & thought things looked a little different, but wasn't sure. I don't remember the building though. They were still running minis on the horse track at Big Butler Fair in 97. We were all getting pelted with little bits of gravel raining out of the sky! Some interesting memories of Saxonburg. On 1st trip there I called for directions & was routed down through Butler & onto a Dinner Bell Rd. I explained we were hauling a cab tractor on a straight truck & clearance was a concern. Told not to worry. On Dinner Bell Rd. we encountered a railroad underpass that I'd have been hard pressed to get the tractor through if it were off the truck. Got directions from a lady mowing her lawn down some winding dirt road, but it got us there. The following year they wouldn't allow my buddy to hook 15,000 until he removed the 3/4" ratchet I kept under the seat to set the drawbar. I don't know how they even saw it, but I didn't think it was likely to fly out of the cab as he blew down the track in 2nd gear. Went back in 97 since the cab tractor & straight were gone. We were eating in a tent at the carnival after the pull when my wife aked "were'd everybody go?" The place was dead silent at 5PM. Turns out the carnival took a 2 hour intermission in the middle of the day. Do they still pull there? Wouldn't mind going back if we ever get the tractor running again. Those were indeed the days, when we had more ambition than brains. |

did you ever see schulers haul there 4010 in the bed of that dump truck,i think the axles would notr go into the dump bed so tractor sat on the tailgate,or partially on it,then the 4320 wasa on a trailer...i heard saxonburgh moved thier track.im pretty sure al juethers grandson can answer that for sure,i imagine he has some video too...the big butler fair could be a serious dust bowl with the minis on the racetrack..do you know if bill larime sr is still pullin,he has to be in his 90's buy now,he was a nice guy to chat with... |

Patches and Oliver 1655 thanks for the trip down memory lane. I am sitting in my pap's living room showing him videos of his old 560.
The track at saxonburg was always at the same place as far as pap and I know. Some of the best memories I shared with my pap during this time. In no particular order: Conner brothers @ Canfield. We just looked at each other in amazement and then talked about it on the way home. Shulers daughter breaking the spindle on the Moose. Vern Over and Stan Auen pull off at West Alexander. Thank goodness Vern broke. Otherwise someone would have gotten seriously hurt. Thanks again, Brad Gray |

Re: Old pulling videos

Brad,
I still have the majority of that 1988 tape to go through, so I plan on posting them too. Trouble is, the internet isn't fast enough to keep up with me. I try to edit together videos while one is uploading, but before I know it, I have about 5 or 6 videos ready to upload before the first one is done. So it might be awhile before those are posted. |

Re: Another unknown mod stock pull

I thought it was 4500 since Jeuther usually pulled 5500 with the wheel brackets on. Come to think of it, 5500 is even a little tough for a 560. I'm not sure on the 190, never been around them much so I don't know what it would take to get one that light. I'll change it. My sources here weren't sure either, one guess was Old Washington, but don't quote me on that. |

The way I see it, posting these videos online is the best way to preserve them. Tapes wear out, DVDs get scratched and both can be lost. Plus, a lot more people can enjoy them. Turns out these pulls are more rare than I thought. |

Re: 1990 Tomah 9500 Super Stock

That tractor always ran strong in the pulls that I watched on tape as a kid. I had to check the tape again at the end to make sure of the driver. Was Randy Hinton a neighbor or relative? Is the tractor still around or was it parted out? Didn't Coleman Wheatley buy it and run it as the Delaware Rascal and then the Indiana Rascal? That's where the trail goes cold for me.

Randy Hinton and Darryl Vaske (dad) bought that tractor from Bret Berg. They are friends and business partners and Dad is service manager for Randy at the Bancroft Implement CIH store. The tractor ended up as Stanley Lloyd's Ohio Rascal and I still think he has it in the shed and was intending to do something with it for his grandson. (that info is yrs old so not sure now) That tractor won the GN Championship in 1990 in the 9500 SS, I think the last yr they split the points for 95 and 75. I think that tractor has seen the winners circle 5 times at NFMS between all of it's owners. Eads had a really good run with it for some yrs. Edited 1 time(s).

Re: 1990 Tomah 9500 Super Stock
|
As popular as geneology sites are these days, it would be interesting to have a family tree of pulling tractors. It's tough to keep track of them when they change names when sold, either out of creative tastes or the previous owner keeping the name as part of the purchase agreement. |

I got it Sully. You just click on the little movie film button above the box that you type into, then copy the internet address of the video and paste it into the box that pops up from clicking the video film button.
All too familiar of a site, looks like one of those bad Hyper blocks again, cracked right along the camshaft. |

Avery Nauman and his dad Tracey run the super farm tractor Li'l Rascal.Avery is Stanley's grandson,Tracey is Stanley's son-inlaw.They started pulling while Stanley was still running the Ohio Rascal.Tracey told me that Stanley had NO input of any kind in the super farm tractor.I tend to believe that as I've known Tracey since we were in high school 30 years ago.As far as the Ohio Rascal tractor,I have no idea what has happened to it. |

|
Re: Guernsey Co. Fair Pull
|
Yeah, Patches. That was my dad driving it in the 10,000 class, you talked to him up at Hookstown in August while I was down waiting in line to pull. Jim Main drove it in the daylight class. As you could tell, working the throttle is a different animal on those multi-turbo supers compared to a non-turbo mod stock. It popped out of gear on Jim, so he didn't do so well. Dad beat everyone in that open class, except for a turbine tractor (that somehow wasn't recorded). That pull was late in the year, maybe the last one of '94. Jody was going to switch to a 4-charger setup that winter. Jim and Dad had been running around with Jody that summer helping out and all, so they each got some seat time. I can still remember when Dad got home telling us kids that he beat Shotgun Red and we didn't believe him one bit until he got out the video proof.
As for that V8 Case IH, I have no idea who had that tractor or what was even in it. I would say DV550 on alky, but I don't know if those ever had a strong enough bottom end. But this one sounded like it was supercharged, not turbocharged. That was the first and last time I ever saw that thing run. |
|
Re: Guernsey Co. Fair Pull
|
Robin Elliot from Mt.Gilead,Ohio built a supercharged 1468 on alcohol.He had problems getting the thing to run right.He sold it after about a year of frustrations with it.The tactor in the video could be the same with different sheet metal.The engine in the tractor looked impressive when you looked through the grille in the front.If I remember,Robin told me he was using a 14-71 supercharger,Enderle bird catcher injector hat,dual ignition systems. |

Nope, wish I did. But my Tomah stuff is limited to just that 1990 pull. I have a lot of stuff lined up to put online yet. It's ready, but getting it onto youtube is the holdup since the internet isn't lightning fast. I have one more Tomah SS, 3 classes of supers (55-95) from 1990 Macon and a bunch of 1989 OSTPA supers ready for uploading. And there are more tapes I've yet to digitize. |

aaahhh my favorite class,why,variety.no other class since this era has had this variety..so why was this class abandon shortly after on the national scale,was it low numbers,politics,or since the 466 based tractors all lightened up to run the seven,it made the 55 pullers into a one hook event.. |

Re: More 1989 OSTPA Supers

I've been around this sport since the early 70's,the multiple pulloffs used to be fairly common.Since the start of floating finish lines though you don't see them.Interesting point about the Bucyrus pull,Shotgun Red was a pro stock tractor.Who says you have to run multi turbos to make power. |

Yes it does,but looked like 24.5's in the video. |
|
Re: More 1989 OSTPA Supers

Sometimes he switched to the big tires to run super stock, sometimes he didn't. Either that, or Gall's Scoundrel was running even smaller tires than 24.5, because they look tiny compared to the tires on Shotgun Red. |

|
Re: Mod Stock: 1987 Jacktown Fair 5500
|
The sled in this video was the Westmoreland tractor pullers association's sled. Richard Love (of decision maker sled fame) has "Old Yeller" now and still uses it for farm stock type pulls. It is motorized now, so no pull back tractor. As for the one used at Jacktown in the mid 90s, I think I have a vague idea of it: navy blue color, single axle pull-back type. I remember one year (93-94-95) the track was so tacky they had to use a dozer to pull the sled back. |

Re: 2000 Canfield Fair

Back then
|
Not to take anything away from Jason Forrester, but thats probably the only time that he beat Link. Gone Mokin' was pretty much unbeatable when it was a limited pro. And the class was pretty skewed then. Other than link, most of the guys from western pa were running 540 cubes, p-pumps, 3x4 turbo because that's what the class rules were supposed to be. Feicht was worried about numbers so he let the interstate guys run and they dominated. Then the guys starting switching to that setup and pretty soon the original class rules were competely thrown out. You can tell by looking at the smoke which tractors are which. |

Re: 2000 Canfield Fair

Back then
|
Maybe, maybe not what? Pulled the class back when it was started. It was a big surprise that Jason beat him at Canfield because he hadn't beat him all year. And funny the tractor blew away Forrester's other tractors which it had been running head to head with all year and then the last pull it ran like that. I was there. All season long. |

Yea he adjusted alright . Have seen it many times before it makes you wonder sometimes. |
|
Re: 2000 Canfield Fair
|
I edited it out for time's sake, but both of Forrester's tractors hooked first. The 9600 pulled first and they reset the sled. Papa Smurf pulled next as the test puller, but hit the chalk line so he dropped. So he had the benefit of knowing how the tractor reacted on that track before he had a hook that counted. But if you notice all the mud piled up along the sides of the track, it rained really hard about an hour before the pull and they had 9 pieces of equipment clearing the mud off the top. |

I was at the event, watching these videos brings back some good memories. It was the first time I meet the Forresters, I stood near the starting line and talked with Curt for quite a while. If I remember right, a lot of rain came down in sheets around 5:00 pm or so, but it didn’t last long.
If you watch the Pulloff, Link has to hammer on the left brake to keep the tractor between the chalk lines. I sure looks to me like Link had more power, but Jason just outdrove him that night.

We did what your suppose to do when you get beat, we stepped up our game all season reeling Link in. Mr. "back than" don't worry your not taking anything from Jason he took home the trophy at canfield and the points title for 2000 and your just a poor sport like you have always been. Come on you think Jason had an advantage because he got to pull twice down the track? I am pretty sure Link did also he made a full pull and came back in the pull off and could have made adjustments just the same as Jason. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage to run your hot tractor three times like Jason did? Just seems like a lot of excuses to try to explain something that is self explanitory on that day on that track Jason won fair and square and by a comfortable four feet margin thats all nothing more nothing less. |

I thought it might be because of the bank and the church or whatever in the background. Had me fooled from the reverse angle from the first time around. I had never been to or even heard of Hoppel's Arena. But I guess it was a lot easier to travel back when gas was around $1 per gallon, so that's why a lot of them got around back in those days of pulling. |
