Oh ok. I misunderstood. But yes the jump from 5th to 6th is a big one. Maibach’s would definitely be able to steer you in the right direction. Brad is extremely helpful.

Oliver 12v I think you and I are calling the same thing 2 different names but maybe I’ve got myself confused. To me the over/under and hydra power are the same thing. It’d be the 2 speed that they put in the 50 series. They were a good unit.
The hydraul is the 3 speed that they put in the 55 series and then into the Whites. They were also a good unit but he more issues than the 2 speed. Am I

Just Pulling, an 88 will take quite a bit of horsepower if you are running in the V8 antique class. If I may make a suggestion tho, I’d your rules allow it, you may want to use either an 880, or better yet a 1650 or 1800A rear. They’re stronger and newer.
If that’s not an option for you, then an 88 will do well but not as strong. Many guys get gears made for the class but it’s not because of

The Hydra Power is stronger. It’s drawbacks tho are that it takes power to run it unlike the TAs that Internationals have. And the over/unders are a weak point for Olivers in a pulling application. So if strength is all your worries about then a hydra power is the way to go but it takes horsepower.

Part of the issue with that qualification is that there is no way to really test these machines except to hook to the sled and try to take it down the track. Even simulated scenarios don’t truly put it to the test. So how are they supposed to figure out what their problem is without testing? Like also said...No competitor WANTS to do that to the fans either but it happens...Sorry man.

Actually the Limited pro super farms pull tonight at the Big Butler Fair. They compete against each other. They’re pretty comparable. Depending on the track and set up. Anyone can win on any given night

Well what about the driver/owner wanting to show his personal preference and personality a little bit with varying sheet metal. I think it’s still a way to let the fans relate to different machines and like something different. And a competitor a chance to show brand “loyalty” but still set them up for success which is what all competitors are in the sport for...
And as far as the announcers..

It’s no longer on the schedule because they only had 4 tractors showing up to run the class. And that’s if all of them were there. 2 of them, technically, didn’t meet the rules anyway because they had inline pumps instead of a rotary pump.
Just a case of not enough equipment.

I’m sure that there’s a benefit to it. Often it’s figuring out how to best get it into your setup. But if you’re handy you could probably come up with some way to get it worked in. Good luck with whatever you come up with.

I’m aware of that. My point was those guys that do well usually have a method to their process and that is part of their formula for success. I know lots of guys that don’t cool their fuel and do well, but I was answering the question that dj asked

Never tried one but yes, they have them. I believe their called a fuel “can-cooler”
Just did a quick search and found one on eBay. I know of one guy that has one. Seems to run pretty well. I also know of a guy that just puts his fuel in the freezer before every event and then puts it in the tank before the competition. He also does pretty well.

I really think that you made a great choice with the Cockshutt 40. They’re great rearends. Seemed to be geared just about perfect and tough as nails. You may have to figure out a work around for the steering if you use the stock steering but it’s doable. Best of luck to you.
As far as changing your name... I don’t know. Didn’t see a way with a quick look into it. Maybe you can create a new ac

I’m not trying to get into an argument with anyone. There are many good options out there for a good foundation. And there are people much smarter than I that could help you get rolling when you’re ready. I’m sure some of the Central Ohio guys can help you so that you’re set up more for their rules. Good luck to you logan

logan, it’s really up to you on what you wanna do. If you have a brand loyalty (Sounds like Cockshutt or Massey) then find the strongest rear you can that still meets the rules. I know in the big block class that is run in Ohio and PA the rule says 72 or older. So guys are running even newer combinations. When ours was built the rule said 57 or older so we built a super 88.

Yeah some guys keep the stock transmission, but others use a different transmission because of the age and the strength concerns of some. It’s pretty impressive what those old rear ends can stand when you realize that most are putting more than 10x the original power through them...But everything has its limits. But like I said. I know of at least 6-10 that run the stock rears. Some of them are v

My apologies. I thought the 570 was a heavier unit. If they are the same, then I’ve seen them in action. They run good and have never seen one have an issue. I know a Cockshutt rearend, typically is built very stout. But again my apologies. I thought the 570 was heavier built

The 550 would be a bit on the light side, in my opinion. I know of a couple 570 Cockshutts that run pretty well but never a 550. Not saying it wouldn’t work but would try to find a little bit heavier rear if you can.

I personally like the 2.5 Diesel (Some call it work stock diesel). The reason I like it personally is because many of those trucks are street legal/daily drivers. That to me is just awesome that you can have such high horsepower machines that you drive everyday. After that probably any other diesel truck class.
I’m definitely more of a tractor fan but I do enjoy the diesel trucks.

Just wanna get your opinions on front tire air pressure on a 2wd tractor with double cut tires. Do you think it matters what it is?
Just one thought I had is if too much air and the front end starts to bounce it’s like a basketball bouncing...A flat basketball won’t bounce...
But the front tires obviously aren’t doing anything but steering if on the ground...
What do you think?
Thanks

Went from 38 Field and Road Hand done full cuts to 34” Radial Double Cuts. It was a game changer for us. It’s in a V8 Antique. Went from lugging the motor down and snuffing out right when we needed it to being very competitive and getting a couple wins. It wasn’t a power thing for us. We knew we had as much power as top competitors(dyno tested) but it wouldn’t hold it at the the big end.

Logan, I’ve never seen a small block compete with the big blocks. The reason being, is that they’re still limited to 6000 RPM. They would be way under cubed because the Big blocks are allowed 505 with one organization and 521 with another.
If the small blocks could run 8000 and be limited to 410,, I think they’d have something...But at this point they don’t do it that way...

No problem. Also. One more thought on the Massey Harris 44. There’s a pretty good runner in our class and I know he’s re-geared. I also know that they’ve broken more than one. They almost switched to a different Massey model because they are getting harder to find but found a couple more donors so they are still running it.
Doesn’t mean they are bad rearends tho. Just what I know about that par

We have a Hot Rod V-8. We run a big block class in eastern Ohio/Western PA. Limited to 6000 RPM. Sounds like you’re interested in the small block class though. I know there is one for sale on the for sale page. It’s an Oliver.
Toughness wise, the Oliver is great (it’s a Super 88/880). Gearing with 18.4x38 can be an issue. There are 3 different ring and pinion options for those. They all have

I don’t necessarily think that we are doing a bunch of things “wrong” in pulling. It’s just a different game than Racing. Far fewer people (and sadly continuing to shrink) can rela
