This also works well using a boat steering helm (preferably 2.4 cu in):
There are 1.125" and 1.5" rod sizes available, different lengths as well.

Interesting and positive developments for the NTPA for sure.
Am I seeing it right that Evansville and Macon are both 3 day events???

Tickets are an admission thing only - they are not seat tickets. Bleacher seating unless you have a "VIP" booth at trackside level, which they may all be spoken for at this point. It has always been first come first served on bleacher seating, with most people securing blankets or tape on the bleachers to keep their staked spot for the entire 3 day show.

619 crank swings in a 531 block is exactly why the 619 became a thing. If only there was knowledge of how far things would get out of hand, perhaps the ci would have been capped at a number slightly less than 531? Is what it is now.

I loved the Sunday afternoon session!!! We always stayed Sunday night and drove home Monday.....was a good drive. I never understood the fascination with dropping Sunday for Thursday evening. I mean yes, you have 3 night sessions and only 2 day sessions......but the same amount of time away form home/work is required either way technically (unless you live awfully close by).
Anyways, it doesn&

If anyone has ever listened to the episode of the No Practice Podcast that featured Ryan DeBroux, you here him tell how EFI & diesel is an extremely unique animal that is not understood by really anyone when you arrive at the level he's at. Basically they are inventing things as th

Outside looking in makes many very valid points stated here for the start from scratch/ground up build. Naturally it is countered with this statement:
"Making components legal leaves current competitors 3 choices. Spend the money / put in the work for a component chassis, settle for mid pack, or park it in the barn."
Every class that has gone component has had these same choices. None of th

Is this 3 speed you have from a reputable builder, or is it one cobbled from existing stock parts? A proper 3 speed from a builder (atlas/lemke/profab/beckett/gms) will not be an issue provided the complete setup was installed (input shaft bearing quill is biggest thing). A cobbled setup from stock parts may not handle what you want depending on how it's done.

The biggest issues you will have is cylinder head air flow (cast into head intake manifold) and injector style (limits performance availability). Otherwise probably a great plan. 4030 back plate will work. Limited rpm/fuel/turbo will probably allow this combo to work reasonably well. Open rpm/larger turbo will be where the trouble starts.

"This last spring though I was able to see up close and personal a new JD LLSS being built by a reputable performance shop in the pulling world. Inspecting the chassis it was a full-length component type chassis. Inside the frame rails were 2 transmission slabs... There wasn't even any material connecting them. These slabs were bolted to the frame rail for nothing more than appearance. The e

"I've argued for years that removing the transmission housing should be allowed if a tractor has full length frame rails and that seems like a much more logical step than a component chassis for this class."
Is the intention a Profab or like transmission would be put in place of an original trans?

To answer you properly Dick, there is not a need for them in lower HP classes. But after 17 years working on this Ag chassis, I'd sure love the option to make it easier to deal with!!
You are spot on that more HP does not necessarily make for better show, it is the puller who generally wants more power (we are all guilty).

It's not necessarily about NEED.....it's about desire to have something that isn't a nightmare to work on. Why does everyone go so sideways about a component chassis? If you've had the pleasure of working with a component tractor, you already know what I am saying. Why penalize someone for wanting something that is designed for service? Just because we have always done somethi

I agree with all of your statements.......except this one:
"there would be no need for component chassis"
Completely disagree. HP would still be huge and driveline failures would have still driven this issue.
In addition to that a component chassis is desirable for many service and parts availability related reasons. A component chassis is not the main issue with pulling today, and ther

Anything 20 series won't cut it.
Gotta have a 30/40 series 8 speed powershift housing at least. And this will only allow a 3 speed Profab box.
50/55 series 15 speed powershift housing will allow the 5 speed Profab box.

Some of us were pretty damn grateful to be able to watch a live pull online when there was no way we could be there.
Same goes for Arcola IN pull.
Why are you bagging on them so bad?
I see this coverage and free stream as a step in the right direction.

2.4 is generally a good size.
The lock to lock is more accurately determined by the cylinder bore & rod size, travel length of cylinder, as well as the steering arm length on your spindle.
It's not as simple as saying XX size helm will always be XX turns lock to lock.
