Seriously

Is life that boreing for you that the only thing you have to do is stir up the Hypermax thing all over again? Let it go. |

I don't know about stirring, but with all the controversy of the decision, it would be interesting to know if the blocks held up any better than the others of previous years. The only way to really know is to ask and hope someone answers the question. One can only hope! |

Interesting indeed.. Boxler's blew up and that was a hyperblock I think. But was that from a rod failure? |

The last time I talked to brandon, he did not sell his tractor as we had spoke. He was even intertaining the idea of selling the engine seperately. |

steel not cast
|
If you ever seen that old orange block,whitch it is not the old d21 block at all,maybe just maybe you could understand that it is steel that is the factor that it stays toghether and not much to do with cast iron. |

Yes I have seen it up close and personal, and I did not say it was the D21 block, but being a seasoned lifetime AC mechanic with 40 + years of hands on experience of these blocks, there are very minimal internal and casting changes since the first 426 block was produced for the D21 to the last 8000 series in 1986. Yes it does have a very good external tie bolt system, which could be utilized on every other brand block, thus eliminating the need for the Hyper block. I don't hear Brian crying foul because he does not have a better block to run if he wants to stay with the Allis setup. Max and Brian should be very proud of their accomplishments. So therefore I stand on my statement. |

I don't care about the green vs red vs orange and how this guy sucks and old technology still won , blah blah blah ( kudos to Brian on it though!) .. Question was asked, how did the hyper block stand up this past year and who is using them? |

I talked with Hans and Kevin (some of the nicest guys you can talk with) after the block let go and they said it was an IH block. They had joked with me earlier in the year about running any old junkyard block they could find. They actually weren't in favor of the Hyper block being allowed back then (not sure where they stand on the rule now though).
I'm sure Hunt's will be a real strong runner, and obviously Esdon has proved that the Hyper block can take some serious abuse. Whether they are worth the money... I guess that's all just a matter of perspective. As a side note, I've got a friend with one on order. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service. The cost is covered out of my pocket. It takes a great deal of time and a fair amount of money to keep this website going. Donations for: photos, classified ads, forum discussion, etc... are appreciated. Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal. |

Re: Hypermax Block

Common sense
|
Can't believe they would be permitted to use anything hyper if the" Big E" is still involved at all. |

Re: Hypermax Block

I know of at least two hyper blocks that gave it up, but they were the earlier version of the casting. I believe they are now somewhat diffrent and I don't know if anyone has broken one of the latest and greatest. |

This is a three-year old cell phone video, so no Oscars will be awarded for quality... Also note it is the 1066 he had before the McCormick. That 1066 is now a pro stock in the Smoker Series Super/Pro combo class. [www.youtube.com] |
