Farm Show Flashback - Share Your Memories!

Moderator Registered: 01/11/2009 Posts: 1,579 |
It's Farm Show week and many of us should be in Broadbent right now, readying for the first session, but unfortunately we're not. However, let's make the best of a bad situation.
Dan Mayer and I have been asked to share photos and video from past Championship Tractor Pulls during the week, and it's not just our story to share, many of you have great memories and photos of the event too and we want to see them here on this thread. Dan as many of you know has a treasure trove of video and photos and I hope to fill in some spaces he doesn't cover. For now, I'll kick off the day with a photo of the legendary Sneaky Snake from 1989 winning the 10PS class, courtesy of the NFMS archives. Again, we want you to share your memories too...whatever that favorite memory might be. What was the most memorable pull you remember seeing? What year of the pull has given you the most memories? We want to know! |

Absolutely love the old school pullers, the D21s, 4010s, MF2805, Molines, all of them, they didn't all look the same back then like they do now days, the big knobby cleated tires, no custom frames or sheetmetal, man that was the good ole days when anyone had a chance to win or place good. |

Gaylord Zechman winning the 9000 Mod in 1977, after third in '75 and second in '76 with "The Spirit of '76". The record with show that "Dean Decker" was the winner. The tractor was entered under his name due to the sanctioning body threat of losing points for pulling at a non-sanctioned show. But Gaylord did drive it to the win that night and collect the trophy. |

One of my favorite memories is not that long ago, 2018.
Don Masterson winning the Pro Stock finals along with Jacob Fuqua taking the LSS championship and Wayne Sullivan winning the Mod class. Add Ashley Corzine taking the TWD win on Saturday night made for me a very memorable weekend. Dick Morgan www.PULLOFF.com Independent Pulling News Edited 1 time(s).

Warpath winning has to be mine as well...It was the first year I ever went to the Farm Show/Championship Tractor Pull and to see that V8 win down there was special. FREEDOM HALL WAS ELECTRIC! Also, It was great because I'm a homer, so being from NE Ohio, I always rooted for Cope, the Campbells, and the Schmuckers.
Honorable Mentions Fuqua winning with the Light Super... Hootman taking down the Chizek A&D Light Supers with the little Ford that could... |

Dan, thanks for sharing that 2005 Alcohol SS Qualifier, thats a whale of a class. It brought up a question, what's the longest distance ever for a pull in Freedom Hall, full pull or otherwise? That 256.79 by Tim Howell has to be near the top of the list. Bryan Lively - |

Bryan I was thinking about that last night while uploading these videos. The other one I was thinking was Dave Richardson burying the Kodiak halfway in the sand. Dan Mayer www.pulling-reference.com Dedicated to Preserving the History of Tractor & Truck Pulling |

As we head into the last day of what would have been #nfms2021 here's another image from the past, courtesy of Sherry Schaefer. I can't think of many more iconic images than those of a 66-series, a 4430, or a D21 hooked to the sled in Freedom Hall. This image is of Tom Wright on his narrow front 1066, a spot-on representation of the Super Stock class of the mid to late Seventies. Share a similar image with us! |

Didn't want to forget images of early TWD wheelstanders either. This photo is 1984 or likely earlier. Cool to note the WAVE-3 cameraman getting video for broadcast on the Saturday afternoon following the NFMS CTP. Photo from the NFMS archives. |
