Going to give this one more shot. Looking for modified tractor that came from New Hampton Ia. area that went to Wisc. 1990 ish . Possibly a Bill Price? Might have pulled a John Deere something later. Tractor had Oliver rear end was big block Chevy but who knows now. Have restored a couple already. Any help or information would be appreciated. Post here or send me a text 641 208 6480 Dan in Bloomfield Ia. |

Ask over at Tristatepullers.com. Sounds like the one Tom used to run, called it Olive Oyl, switched to a Deere later.

Hey, Dan, try Dean Stumme @ Marv and Zips repair in New Hampton. He might remember.
Or maybe Jim Eckenrod. |

Bill Preuss sounds right. My lead said Bill Price bet close enough and the John Deere deal in Tomah fits in also. Any idea on the son's name or how to contact. I think I am getting close. Thanks for the help Dan |

"The Lost Is Found" After looking 5 years on and off I have found the old mod I have been looking for! Headed to Wisc. next weekend ( if the snow melts) . Will be looking for a pair of 32 inch steel wheels and a BBC Hilborn setup. All down hill from there. I can't thank everyone who helped with this adventure. Now the fun part begins. For now not going to let out a lot of details out would like to surprise somebody. Again THANKS to all and not to forget Thanks to Pulloff.com would have been hard to impossible to pull this off with out this page . Dan |

Can you say where you found it? I starteed with a single engine mod over 35 years ago in the SW Wisconsin area.. Sold it around 89. My cousin came to me one day several years ago and said he found my oid tractor. We ended up making a deal and it has been back up and running again . It will be with me till I'm dead now.Glad to hear you found it. Would like to hear more . |
