An 830 JD pulling a prostock class ?? February 25, 2014 12:11PM

Why not last 830 I saw had six cylinders and besides its not like they disparaged the looks of one.

Yeah I know what you mean why not go with something different like 1066 IH or a 4440 Deere none of them out there

I would imagine the next one you build would allow you to build one however you like! Assuming your speaking of Lance Little's True Grit people either seem to love it or hate it, I happen to like it and I'm a red guy! If u like it enjoy it, if not be seen not heard !Winking

I was planning on running 830 sheet metal on my LLSS I'm trying to build. Why not look different and stand out rather than do what everyone else does

In my opinion on a LLSS you should go with 620/630. More appropriate for a small tractor.

I agree that would be neat.

BTW how many tractors do you see that blow smoke from the factory like a pro stock lol?

About the only ones I can think of would be some of the older Masseys and ACs. Some of them put out a pretty good cloud.

I have to agree with you, 620 or 630 sheet metal on an LLSS would you really cool. It would go right along with the alky Super MTA sheet metal of the tractor that pulls in mid-south if memory serves me correctly.

I'd do 830 for 2 reasons more room and we already have 2 830s in the collection so need a 3rd. In-laws have 28+ restored 2cyl JDs.

Not to pile on but, I love the 830 sheet metal. I also love the binder lite alky mta. As a fan it is fun to see variety, even if they are quite similar to their class mates under the skin. Keeps it interesting, and after all its got a bunch of people talking. And love them or hate them, that type of conversation (a good type of drama) it's good for the sport.

The Super MTA pulls Battle Of The BlueGrass. It's a true M. Ted & Tony or Binder Lite built it.

Isn't there a 450 IH out there also? I thought I seen one on a video once, if not that would also be a neat one to build. We may have been JD people if the 830's would have run like True Grit does, my Dad always said the reason he wasn't a JD man is because the old 2cyl JD run in one place for to long and the Farmall M didn't!!

As a 2 cyl puller and builder, I have for the last several years wanted to put new style "plastic", lol, on an "A" or "G", just to be different...imagine seeing the new style hood and front, and it going pop,pop, pop.

i run a 706 in r open farm class. not a big fan of green paint but I will say lances 830 sure looks nice. im like of old school so I like the 9600 ford lehns 460, I think there is a pro stock 1206 that runs with the outlaws. I think theres a 1456 diesel super out there. nice to see something different other then a 1066 4440 7240 7800. keep the crowd think what is next. I really like it when the tractors like the 830 or 460 get out then end just like the a 8410 or mx305 even though under the hoods r the same componets

I bleed green, but must say hats off to the guys (of all colors) who are building these great tractors with the retro affixed sheet metal, it looks so cool. It just brings even more imagination to the sport. How can you not like it?

Did any of the "factory" tractors do stuff like that? I think not. So that statement would cover all tractors.

If it doesn't make sense, then don't watch the Pro Stocks, Open Supers, Diesel Supers, Light Supers, etc etc...
Do you get my point?

A lot of the tractors that we watch pull on a weekly basis didn't do what they do when they came out of the factory. Do we still enjoy watching them? Yes.
I, for one, love pullers that think outside of the box when it comes to selecting their models.

It is nice to see some different sheet metal on the track. I love the 830, beautiful tractor.

I read the replys to this post and one thing bothers me. One of the posts talks about wasting daddys money, that is stupid the tractors mentioned are not built with daddys money. I know of the brothers that are pulling the tractor with the 730 sheet metal and know the men who built that tractor made the money through lots of hard work. If all someone has to do is run someone else down keep your stupid thoughts to yourself

Tractors like Todd Cooperiders' O6 IH and Lance and Chris' 830 shouldn't elicit the question of "why?" but "why not?" Anyone who is thinking outside the box may get an equal chorus of cheers and boos, but they deserve respect for trying something different.

I've kicked around the thought of a MM UOPN (an open station UDLX). That would be cool to see on a pulling track, with a ton of rake and some tastefully enlarged rear fenders.

I love the looks of the old tractors also ! But isn't the cutoff date 1960 or newer for component tractors ? You could build a Farmall M or 450 but wouldn't it be limited to using a stock block and frame ?

I cannot see what, about using antique sheet metal has to do with innovation in a motorsport, tractor pulling included. It's as much an innovation or thinking outside the box as Courtney Force posing nude for a sports magazine. The reality of this current brainstorm is a "look at me statement" It's how people get people to look at them. What's next? Maybe a Prairie Tractor, like a Fairbanks or a Big 4,,,,,how about a Mogul? It looks more to me, that these guys are running out of ways to keep their popularity going. Maybe one of them is gonna be riding a wrecking ball next. Lets just hope this ego thing does not destroy too much valuable old tin.

If tractor pulling is at the point where it needs to become like a circus, it has bigger problems than you realize.

Mr. Thinker, My personal take on Lance Little's 830 is I LOVE IT!! It is different and it opened a lot of eyes. What a beautiful machine--I think. There are a lot of us older folks who enjoy the old look and as Pro Stock--Oh Yeah!! I do think that makes Lance an innovator but more than anything it is something different and maybe just maybe that tractor is drawing some fans to the pulls that may not ordinarily attend. That does not make the tractor a sideshow at the circus but maybe it is an attraction within the circus. An attraction draws people and that turns into money and profits for the promoters which could lead to bigger payouts for the pullers.

Courtney Force's pictures may have nothing to do with the drag racing sport but I bet you there are some more people in the stands because of her. Now we just need a cute blonde to drive the 830!!

Thanks Morgans for the site!!!!

Yes indeed. I grew up farming and worked beside Gerald Jarett, Rusty Severe, Shorty Kirkpatrick and others in the late 60's and early 70's so YES I can appreciate a good old 806. Good 4020 would be better but-------------we'll save that for another day!!
