What is the 2.5 dimension you are referring to, the body of the cylinder?
I have seen a few setups where the cylinder is 1.5" rod (2.5" body), use a 2.4 cu in helm and you are in the balpark of the 5 turns max you're after. Of course this depends a little on the length of your steering arms at the spindle as that changes the mechanical leverage which equates to cylinder travel and force

If that was 2010, there was indeed a sand pile! I was there, there was a tarp over it due to some of the entrants hitting the sand and sucking it into the chargers. I think Blue Blazes got a little off course, lol!!!
Exciting times, wish they would come back.

The loophole with the 619 is that the 619 crank will swing in the 531 block........therefore making the 619 a true replacement.
I don't think the 903 crank swings in the IH 466/67/68 block.

While I totally agree with the logic of turning two shafts vs three, changing ratios is exactly the same in beckett/gms/atlas/lemke etc trans.......all you do is change the two constant mesh gears and you can either speed up or slow down. It's not that complicated, just alot of work splitting your tractor.

All new 5, 6, 7, 8, R series JD have the fenders with no bump, cab and no cab.The larger the series number, the larger the radius.
Fenders with the "bump" you are talking about were on the 20 and 30 series (7820/7830).
The dash/cowl you are probably looking for is from like a 7420 open station (just one example), or like model.

Can't say enough good about Scott Beckett's trans. Bullett proof, ANY ratio, constant mesh choices on the shelf, and a hell of good guy to deal with. He answers the phone, and is always there to help. He won't steer you wrong.

Pilot a small hole (1/8" - 3/16") in the center of where you want your hole, then use a hole saw (what ever size you need) with a drill bit for pilot just like you would normally do, except run it in REVERSE. This worked very well for me. You will still need to heat a rod or pipe close to the size of the hole and burn around the edge to seal the layers back together.

Looking forward to seeing some more of this class, Ed. I truly believe our club needs to go with this class someday soon. As you can see by the numbers in our current class, it has not helped us to stand pat. Time will tell I guess.
It is good to see interest from NY as well. I see potential for a nice overlap if we got on board.
Will it be just you and Wayne, or are there others coming fro

Only had the sytem for a year now, but the support is fantastic. When you call, you can generally get a hold of someone to talk to right away, they are sensitive to any of your issues, and will help you on the purchase side to configure the system to your needs. They do not attempt to sell a bunch of optional stuff just to make a buck. Systems can be easily added on to and configured. Digital das

Last I knew, Beckett was $4950 I think. Scott is a super nice guy to deal with, no BS. Call him, he will be more than happy to help out.
You pick three ratios you need now, change them in the future with constant mesh gear set, change only two gears.

GMS in south Ohio, Scott Beckett in Central Ohio, Lemkes in Wisconsin, Pro Fab also does them I think. Atlas has three and six speeds. Not sure if maybe Engler does them also?
I have a Beckett trans, is four years old, no problems. You will thank yourself for doing it right the first time. You will spend the same money trying to make a stock trans work for you, been there, done that.

I don't honestly know the difference in weight between the two, I have never had a pair to weigh at the same time in the same configuration. I am sure that you can make the 20 light enough to do what you want, that's kinda what I meant when I said money and time will do wonders for the weight. I just get a little nervous grinding cast off critical strength areas. If I understand correct

There are some that may argue this, but regardless of which rear you go with, get a good three speed. You will save yourself money in the long run, been there, done that.
The 3010 rear might do the job (not sure if anyone makes trans for this case?) and will definitely be light, the 4020 rear will leave you in a bad spot for weight. There is a 4010 rear (Moore Motorports from MD) with three s

Also to be taken into consideration, we had an early serial # gas 4010, and the entire trans/rear case was lighter than my late serial # diesel 4010. Don't know if it is just an early serial # thing, or a gas vs diesel thing? Having had both of them apart, I could see where some differences were. In our case it was to the tune of 200+ pounds difference.

All good info and accurate so far. Something you should attempt to factor in is the drag the factory inboard brakes have after you pump them up before leaving the line, it matters. But if you're up against a tight budget, you gotts do what you gotta do........

I have always thought it would be easier if everybody scaled off the track, obviously distance enough to clear it comfortably, but not enough to be able to perform any changes prior to going on the scales. Would be alot easier to police weight, hitch etc regardless of airbags, aluminum weights, whatever the case may be.....if you're overweight, drawbar too tall, you'd be dq'd....ju

Go online to McMaster Carr and search for max indicating pressure gauges. They are available in a wide variety of configurations. Only issue with these is it only tells you your max number, not when you achieved it though. They are somewhat helpful.

You can machine the diameter of the syncro drum down a little if that looks like it will work, don't take too much off though, it will become weak and then you are opening yourself up for failure.
