Jimmy, I have always been a Firestone man, but BFG came out with pulling tires about a year or two before Firestone. I had a choice and went with Firestone. BFG also had a light and heavy tire. I believe their options were 4 ply and 8 ply. They were made in Miami, OK not far from where I live now. A lot of pullers out west ran them.

I have not been on this site for a year or better and could not get it to recognize me to post a attachment or pictures. Had that happen a couple years ago when I had not been on here for a long time. Not sure if it times out if you do not use it or what. When i try to register under my name it said someone was already using that name. Oh Well! Anyway Jake got me fixed up. Thanks! This is just so

Well, you would think Kurt would learn his lesson and stay off here. The reason I put the letter out there to Outlaw members only in hard copy was it was meant for Outlaw members only and not on here. I have the only electronic copy and wanted to keep it that way. The reason for the letter was his lack of professionalism, confidentiality, truthfulness and the personal information that should have

This is just to inform everyone that I am no longer the CEO of Outlaw Truck & Tractor Pulling Association. I resigned my position on Tuesday and now Kurt Van Beek is the full owner. When I sold half of Outlaws to Kurt 2 years ago I told him I would try to do this maybe 5 more years at the most, depending on the work load. The work load has been better, but a lot of different things brought me to

It's time to let this go. I meant to post something on this before I went on vacation a couple weeks ago and forgot till this thread came up again. Yes, Outlaws and I are disappointed and surprised we are not going back to the Jason Hoffman Memorial Pull in Dunlap. IA. They decided to go a different direction and now so has Outlaws. I wish them the best of luck. Time to move on!

The light axle housing you are looking for end with the cast part number on the axle housing of 010R. They were made the first year in 1960 and are hollow square on the inside and weight 75 lbs. each lighter than the later ones that were round on the inside like the axle. I have about 6 sets but you should be able to find some close to you. Best luck is on Propane or gas powered 4010's as th

Prayers for the Fuqua Family from the Roberts Family. Jay pulled for a long time and knew him from before I moved to Missouri. I bought his cast iron light super for Steve Cowger years ago. Jay was a straight up guy and I enjoyed visiting with him. Cancer is one tough disease and lost my dad to that less than a month ago. Enjoyed his dad also as he loved pulling and always came to Louisville. Dou

I pulled with SRO/Pace at the Silverdome in 1995. They also did Bowling Green, OH that year along with the Astrodome. We had the SRO/Pace banquet at the Astrodome that year after the pull the next day. I remember the Hirt's and Lustik's at the Silverdome when I pulled along with some others. Julie Hirt gave me a picture from there that I still have on my wall in office. That was the onl

If anyone thinks that an International does not have more front axle weight than a John Deere you have not built tractors. I have built 3 Internationals, 1 Oliver, 1 Duetz and many John Deere’s for the light super stock class and one was the Glen Frese International tractor that he won the Outlaw Championship before he went component I think in 2008. The other was for Atnip that is now the Allen

These are some good comments on here but most do not understand the problems if you do not have fair competition you will see less and less vehicles and then the class goes away. I have seen it time and time with other associations and in my 20 years with Outlaws it has always been about fair competition for me and it has enabled us to grow in number of vehicles. With that said why would someone

Attached are the calculations for anyone one wanting to figure front axle weight. Also attached is a Tractor Measuring Chart for any association that needs to use it, put in your rule book, etc. This one does not have the Outlaw logo or hood rules specific to Outlaws on it. Thanks, Doug

Wisner hasn't signed a contract yet and we plan on having both of these classes. They are not having the new 2.5 Diesel Truck class. As far as Western Farm Show goes the city was losing money on Kemper Arena and been trying to sell it for years or was going to just lock the doors and abandon it. They got it sold and the new company is putting a floor in between the two levels and having voll

Hey Chris, thanks for the question. Right now no plans to do a indoor event during the winter. The people that do the Nebraska event have been down to our event in Kemper Arena and we have talked about doing that event together a couple of years ago. At that time one was enough. The American Royal is in the process of getting a new arena built in Kansas City, KS beside the Kansas Speedway. They a

Here are some pictures from 1997 of the 4010 case I machined for Tim Engler to put truck differential and drop box in. To save time I did this part of machining rear end housings and making parts as it was March before I received letter from NTPA denied my request to remove clutch housing, etc. That left me just 3 months to do everything including building a new one piece frame with roll cage.

Cleaning out shop yesterday and came across an old NTPA folder from when I pulled. This shows the start of the component tractors. I broke so much stuff in 1995 & 1996 that I wanted a variance to run some of the stuff my fellow competitors had. After my last rejection letter from NTPA in spring of 1997 I did it the hard way. My last tractor I built in 1997 had a one piece frame with rollcage, tru

This month the American Royal will have a horse show in Kemper Arena and that will be the last event in Kemper Arena before the new owners take over the building. They are remodeling and going to put a floor across the top level and have multiple basketball, volleyball, tennis courts and offices, etc. Around the outside hallways they are going to have offices, weight rooms, etc. Thanks, Doug

Here is some pictures of an Outlaw competitor that is going to try out the 4 inch diameter restrictor plate. This is a 4 turbo International engine that ran 2 weeks ago with 280 lbs. boost. His system can be turned up to 340 lbs. but he is not going to change anything but add these restrictor plates in front of his 2 – 4.250 inch turbos. These are 1 inch thick with ½ inch of that being the 4 inch

Hey Kevin, you caught me at the right time as had time to get on here and correct some spelling in my last post. Not sure we have ever met as you started pulling maybe after I stopped. I started this restrictor plate rule for Outlaws as we do not want to have the problems and numbers that NTPA is experiencing now. I just want limits to keep our tractors on the track and with NTPA and us having so
