Les Grodi Silver Dome photos I have bad luck getting images to display when trying to post photos, but the links are for Les Grodi in the Silver Dome. I've seen pictures of this tractor with 6. Thought I had read a comment in either an old Puller Flyin' Dust section or Pulling Power mentioning Grodi with an 8 engine tractor. Someone found these and posted on Facebook. If anyone can get them to display on here, please do so. I can count 7, not sure about 8 unless the back bottom motor is hidden. There is also a rare photo of Bunnage's with 8 engines on Facebook. I assume this one was from the early '90s. Link below: Bunnage 8 engine mod The first tractor with over 4 that I can think of was Milton Bergman with 6 engines where he sat over the front wheels. If I can find a photo of that one I'll post also. Milton Bergman 6 engine tractor What are some of the most creative or unusual modifieds you remember from the early days of pulling? One I don't have a pic of is Schmiesing's Edsel Express, the only mod I know of that ran Edsel engines. Another I'd like to see a pic of is a guy from Illinois named Ralph Bruns who ran Seagraves engines. Not sure what those are even like, but I'd love to see a photo of it. Edited 12 time(s).
