Been getting some phone calls about air shut off's. I am ok with them as they are more for safety than airflow, and any farm tractor can accomplish the same air flow by taking out the air filter. Velocity stacks are still a no go, as well as aftermarket chargers.

A 2.6 turbo is legal on 1066 0r just 6030?

Re: JUNE 25th: Peoria IL, EXPO Gardens Farm Stock and Truck Pulls June 22, 2011 01:28AM
6030 didn't have a 2.6, and no OEM charger on a 2wd tractor, that I know of, ever came with a 2.6 compressor. That rule was made to allow anyone who wants to run an OEM charger that might be a little bigger than a 3LM, as some of the new Deere chargers are about 2.5 I think. However, the chargers need to be OEM for something 2WD. No Garret, no Precision, no CDS, no Hypermax, etc.

As for the 6030's, I know exactly what came on them...it wasn't big enough for anyone to be worried about. I will be watching them too, they would have to have an entirely different manifold to accomodate a different charger. There will be a bone stock one there to reference. Also, there isn't going to be a 6030 around that can make 14000 with all the farm amenities on it, it would have to be pretty bare (like exhibition bare) to get to 12, or 14 I would think.

This is going to be fun and fair for all of the pullers! There will be some hot tractors in the farm stock class, a few of them are real good runners, but no one is going to be haulin down through there in road gear, or they will be moved to exhibition...says right there in the rules "stock is at the judges discretion." I am trying to get a class for everyone to be happy in as well, hopefully next year we can have an "open" and a "farm" to please everyone's taste and budget!

So a 3lm-466 with the stock 2.3 inlet is acceptable even if the tractor it's on was factory stock with a smaller charger?

This feels like a loaded question, but the short answer is yes...it was OEM on a 2WD farm tractor...

I don't have a problem with someone putting a stock charger (from some other 2WD tractor) on their manifold regardless of what it came with from the factory so long as it's an OEM unaltered charger. No map rings, slots, clipped wheels, etc...as mentioned earlier I wouldn't have the slightest clue what came on much of anything aside from a 6030 or a 4440...but we will be checking compressor housings with the boot off, so be ready for a tech inspection.

Not a loaded question at all. Our club's turbo rule says either oem or 3lm-466. so most guys go with the latter option.

Just thinking about what was larger laying around here that might pass for legal. Our new rules are 3lm-466 as well.

I would really like to have everyone there by 8AM or a little after on Saturday. the tech inspection WILL END AT 9:30, if you aren't signed up by then I am affraid we won't be able to get you in and inspected for your class(es) of choice...however, we aren't going to turn anyone down and there won't be any inspection for exhibition, so if you get there late you may be stuck in there. We will be hooking at 10 sharp. I hate to have such a tight time constraint on this but we are guests at a different pull as of right now...the fair board members will be watching so please bring as many machines as you can so that we can invade the HOI fair again next summer!!! First time in ten years that farm stock (or whatever that has become) has been to EXPO Gardens...let's give em' a show that they can't turn down any more!

If that's the attitude you have towards our sport and its potential growth, we're glad you didn't make it too!
