Re: First alcohol super stock? May 01, 2020 07:27AM
Im gonna say Gene Donaldson with his Oliver in mid 70s but that may be wrong

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 01, 2020 07:42AM
Id say Henery Piper and some of those guys back in the day, Volland & Lucas team, i dont really know just guessing, PC Long and them guys years ago but exactly when im not sure and i could be way off on those picks !!!

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 01, 2020 09:49AM
Maybe David Stangle with his Minnie Mo.

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 01, 2020 01:12PM
In the late 60s Charles Declerk from taylorville Illinois had a g1000 minnie mo called "power without smoke " pulled at Louisville and the old m&w power show.

My opinion would be a 5000 lb one from the mid 60s,I'm sure guys tried it,not successfully tho.if a guy was using it and never said he was would ya even know,I think most pullers never knew of each other back then,how would they ??,print and tv coverage were minimal

JR Herriot from Illinois

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 02, 2020 10:19AM
This is an interesting topic. I'm sure there were tons of guys who mixed some methanol or ethanol with their gas (especially in the LSS) and ran with some level of alcohol but who was the first to be 100% on alcohol? Also in the same vein who what was the first tractor to swap out the carburetor for fuel injection?

And who was the first puller that used multi turbos on alcohol?

Thanks for finally hitting the mark Dick.

The question was "who was the first to run alcohol in a SUPERSTOCK?". The question was not who was the first to run alcohol as a fuel in their gas tractor. Superstock indicates multiple turbos.

Now maybe we can get some where with the topic!

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 03, 2020 03:14AM
Well back in the day lol ( 1979 when I was first involved in pulling ) you did not here the term "pro stock".
The 5500 super stock had many single charger alcohol tractors.

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 03, 2020 10:17AM
Thanks QueFan, you are 100% correct, the Superstock class was once filled with single turbo tractors. Apparently "oh boy" needs a little history lesson on the sport. In fact it's still legal to run the Superstock class with a single turbo, multiple turbos are an option, not a mandate. In fact Long's IH686 ran alcohol on a single turbo and did extremely well in the LSS class for a very long time and consistently beat up on many multi-charger tractors.

Brent Longs 407 cube single charger engine still runs great in Danny Metcalf's 6000 and 7400 Mod tractor in Missouri...

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 03, 2020 01:13PM
Just curious as to how Brents super stock engine can run in a modified class, i don't know the rules but i would think that would be illegal but i don't know, id always heard that the 686 was setting at his place, i didn't know he'd sold part of it !

Why wouldnt it be legal in a Mod class?Its an automotive engine that was used in trucks...Don Nelson has pulled a DT 466 IH on alky for years in the Outlaw Mod Class...Larry Roberts in Ohio had a Mod with twin DT 466's on alky..Danny Metcalf worked for Brent Long..Watch the video I provided a link for.

Not real familiar with the Moline motors , would have that also been the first converted diesel ??

Re: First alcohol super stock? May 04, 2020 11:01AM
Moline made a lot of big tractors that ran on propane and were spark ignition engines.
