Re: Way to insult EVERYONE! - 15 years ago
jake,i feel like i will lose my conection to the tractor if this mix and match will go on .i also wonder what will i conect with.will the fan loyalty be switched from the tractor to the driver.when at a pull spectating,the announcer states the make,model,driver,and home town.i would think most dedicated fans can tell you who the driver is,by knowing the tractors name,but has no idea who he is,thiby patches - Pulling Forum
Re: N/A TRACTORS IN NTPA OR PPL???? - 15 years ago
this class looks like it has all the answers,factory block and metal,can haul it in ill,any fuel,small cubes,any manifolds,light wt,low maint,lots of natural color,lots of rpm's,every fan can connect to these brands,huge amount of tractors already in competition currently,this would be a true starter class to move up from .by patches - Pulling Forum

Re: Patches - 15 years ago
i am not sure of a diesel advantage,how can a 5liter sb ford with a 80mm turbo be approaching 1500hp.i know they are using heads with very good port and chamber design,but wouldnt a 540 gas tractor motor with a 4.1 and heads with good ports and a average chamber surpass the 5 liter.i am assuming some sort of injection(port) will be used on the gas motor.by patches - Pulling Forum
Re: Check out the POLL - 15 years ago
dick,it would be interesting to see a poll on if factory fuels would be allowed,on the gas thread it sounds like sparkplugs are a disadvantage.and on the big thread there is no mentionof it.so the diesel guys must not be to worried.by patches - Pulling Forum
Re: is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 15 years ago
im assuming this would be a national class,with lots of hooks.so looking back through the years has there ever been one herc diesel or a mm diesel ever competitive,i dont mean for one or two hooks but consistently over a few years.i can not recall one.with all the talk of box turbos and a claimer rule,couldn't a gas or lp fuel system be made to work from off the shelf and catalog parts fromby patches - Pulling Forum
Re: is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 15 years ago
wouldn't the only blocks allowed be ag type.i can see the sawmill engine being used ,but what would it replace.shouldn't the replacement block be able to swing a ag crank.i would also agree with sdf823 on the dusty floor,i encountered problems in the 310 with serious cracking ,with no blower and moderate rpm's.by patches - Pulling Forum
Re: is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 15 years ago
i cant see why not,if it is going to be a light pro class,it would make sense to use a fi system.the diesel tractors will get any size p-pump,so why cant a gas tractor use injection.look at cespedes mm,that tractor has been run for years,and has never dominated anything or anywhere.colbergs mm also,i havent seen it run but a few times,and it was not dominating either.as a matter of fact,most fansby patches - Pulling Forum
is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 15 years ago
in all the talk below only one person comented on a gas fueled tractor.a 4010 never came with a p-pump,but it did with a carb.a oliver with a herc ,doesnt stand a chance,nor does a mm,probably could throw a case in there to.thier heads just are not good for performance.all three of these brands have a good option on gas power,even with the stock oem heads.all three can easily get to 540,all threeby patches - Pulling Forum
Re: Looking for input from Hot farm/ Div 10/ Light Limited/Pro Farm pullers to start one of these classes in Eastern Ohio, Western PA - 15 years ago
isn't there enough classes already for the larger frame tractors in this area now.just look in the farm and dairy,90 percent of the classes are for antique tractors,antique tractors with v-8's,at 3000 or 5000 rpm's,and 10,000-12,000 farm stock,open farm,hot farm,or super farm.the na 5500-7500 class is close to dead,and there is no class to hot rod a light tractor in,what is wrong wby patches - Pulling Forum
Re: Ford Pullers read this!!! - 15 years ago
does the 6000 only have a select o speed transmission,or is there a direct gear drive also.this really sounds like a low budget ride.i know around here the 300-6 motors are everywere in junkyards.is this 362 dorsett motor like a 300 or a 401.also would a rear from a 4000 or 5000 work.by patches - Pulling Forum

Re: Ford Pullers read this!!! - 15 years ago
wwithin the last few years,hot rod magazine,had a couple of pics and a small article about the 300-6 being used in a roadster for drag or land speed racing.the article stated that the engine used a aluminum aftermarket head and manifold.the head was not a one off homemade,but a production piece.also offy made a intake for this motor.both of these might be worth looking into.by patches - Pulling Forum
