Have a 6 disk allied ta I bought used, I had it gone through by Neuman in Wisconsin. I'm getting around to putting it in and the shaft has .035 in play . The torque housing is shimmed correct to .018. the shaft has a constant play of .035. Is there something wrong internal or will it be fine?
Thanks,

I feel like the biggest thing is the Competitors. The people you pull with make or break a great association. We hung around the association we pull with for a few years and became friends with the group and that made us want to jump in with them, so we did. Another big factor I feel like is the distance of the pulls from home, and justifying the membership cost versus per hook with how many hook

Exactly, great points. Majority of the pulling organizations don't have the help or time to do full checks on classes. Alot of the responsibility is put on the pullers to manage each other on class rules. Pulls like Tomah, Hillsboro or Wisner for example where the competitors are on the ground for multiple days give better opportunity to check things like cubic inch if it's brought up,

But I'm not. Techs are not responsible for checking Cubic inch until a protest is brought forward. Teching is 90% safety check over. Randomly fuel, water, or turbo.

You obviously don't know much about the tech process with tractor pulling.

Call FVP for the setup. Run the nozzle as close to the turbo as possible for best atomization for even cooling. If they allow it, I would take advantage of it.

But why is it 466 needs to do the changing???? Every year its the 466 tractors that need to change on pull-off. Why should the longer standing class with NTPA/Badger state be the one to change. Why Can't the 510 tractors change?? Cost?? Like the cost of a 3x3.5 or the cost to go to 510 cubic inch for the 466 stuff??
We all have a sandbox that's successful and growing. Doesn't m

But remember, that is all on a 300 ft track. Most of the guys didn't get past that. It was discussed last year that a 510 on a longer outdoor track would pass a 466 in a second and a lot of pullers agreed with that. My argument is with more power is you still go the same speed and the same distance down the track, the sled just gets heavier.

Why does this happen every year. We have a flourishing 466 3x3 class in the Midwest but it's not good enough for the 510 guys to leave us alone. It's always the 466 guys that need to change for others. Tell you what, worry about yourself and we can worry about us. Why would anyone think it's a good idea to change a class that just got put in with ANOTHER organization??? We all have

NTPA has had pro farm class in the rule book a lot longer than 510. To the people in the 466 class already there is no benefit to moving up. Just have to spend a lot more money to do it, Leave the 466 class alone in the Midwest. There isn't a benefit to the class here to change. We have a lot of pulls and a lot of great competitors in UPM/WTPA/BadgerState/Tristate and beyond!

Why should WTPA and Badger State follow those rules when the 466 hot farm or 466 pro farm in Mn have been around longer then the 510 rules at that level?? Why don't the 510 come down to 466 and conform to the rules set up already in the tri state area by UPM(NTPA), BADGER STATE and TRI STATE???

One vote per tractor no matter how many drivers it has. Must be a paid membership in previous year and attend a 1/4 of the available points hooks. Must be at the meeting to vote no call in, no one voting for you!! If you lock rules, they are LOCKED, no voting them back open, unlocking them every year and changing the rules makes it impossible for new people to build into these classes!! Not every
