We pull with Northwest Pennsylvania Truck and Tractor Pullers, also Western Pennsylvania Truck and Tractor pullers, you can find both clubs on FB.
Rules summarized.
Safety equipment- roll bars, wheelie bars, clutch blanket, helmet, air guillotine (on diesels), steel flywheel, RPM sensor (3000 max) etc.
Turbo engines - Any normal tractor fuel (diesel P7100 pump max), gasoline (single updr

Sounds very similar to the rules for our club, except we have a s200 turbo and a 3000 RPM limit.

You obviously do not understand dimensions on parts, everything has a tolerance, with no tolerance stated 3-3/4" would be 3.7500000000000" and impossible dimension to achieve. If you want to discuss this, further feel free to talk to me in person.
You obviously like to argue just to argue or show the world how big your peepee is just to be right. You’re worried about a tolerance whe

I understand what you are saying, but there needs to be a tolerance on the dimension, such as 3-3/4" +/- 1/8". Most people only worry about if the hook fits in the hole, if it fits it ships.

It won't change, but the idea of welding a tab on the hook to prevent it from coming out is flawed. It would only work if you put a limit on the maximum size of the hole, which no organization does.

Keeping costs in check is a missing goal of many organizations, pulling, farming, schools, government, families etc. Instead, all I hear is how can we raise more money or charge more money.

I looked at some a data I found a couple of years ago, and it said the DT360 weighed 250# more than the Cummins 5.9. I have not weighted them myself so I cannot validate the numbers.

Has anyone found a way to get oil and diesel fuel out of a scatter blanket? I have tried Dawn dish soap and Simple Green, but the banket is still dirty.

This is interesting, we have a class in western Pa for 360 in3 tractors, that has good participation across many manufacturers, but no John Deere machines. This would be a good recipe for a competitive John Deere in our class.

It seems to be regional, in our area UPS is generally the best, but not perfect. For small things, I have good luck with USPS. The worst is the low-cost shipping companies that subcontract to USPS, tracking is almost impossible, and delivery can take days longer than promised. FedEx is a real crapshoot, and if I have a choice, I will not use them.

It's for a pump with an originally CCW (CASE) cam rotation, being used in a CW (IH, JD) application. Engine firing order is still 1-5-3-6-2-4
So the cam can turn either rotation successfully?

There is an ad currently on this site for IH parts that lists fuel lines with the unusual firing order, I would assume it is for an inline 6. Maybe it is a mistake?

What is the benefit of firing order 1,4,3,2,5,6 as opposed to the traditional 1,5,3,6,2,4?

It needs to be a spring loaded mechanism that you set and then release with a solenoid... Like a trigger.
How do you down shift a set up like that?

I used a linear actuator on an Oliver 2 speed, it was slow to shift and I couldn't find a solenoid with enough travel to make the shift.

This is the age-old argument of stroke versus bore, you will get lots of opinions and arguments, but in my opinion the difference will not be measurable on a dyno. I would do which ever makes the most sense from a mechanical standpoint. Do you have enough room in the block for a 3/16" overbore? That would probably be the least expensive and the most robust solution.

The powers at large should take responsibility and publish a list of approved suppliers and keep it current.

It would be interesting to see the calculations or testing that was used to develop these solutions. The turbocharger industry testing that I have seen concentrated on the housing not allowing parts to exit through the outside of the case, not out the exhaust.
Option #3 is the only one that appears to be somewhat retrofittable, but who are the NTPA approved manufacturers?

The rules are voted on by the members who pull in the class, so they will decide where the class goes. I for one, would vote against other enhancements..

I resurrected this post because the class members recently voted for some major rule changes.
The requirement for rotary pumps was voted out, new rule states P7100 or smaller. The pump change was driven by lack of availability of good high volume rotary pumps, P7100 pumps are much easier to obtain and cheaper to maintain.
The turbo rules now require a Borg S200SX with no modifications. This

If they are old style wheels where the center is riveted to the rim, I used a cutoff wheel removed the rivets and beat out the centers.
If they are spot welded rims, I have drilled out the spot weld and beat the rims out.
I have also used a cutting torch or a plasma cutter to remove the centers, takes patience and a little luck.
Then I placed the centers where I wanted them and welded them int

That is an interesting approximation, but the one key factor missing, is the driver did not get out of the throttle for a few tenths of a second, so energy was still being supplied to the drivetrain.

As an employee of the pulling organization, this might be covered under Iowa workers compensation laws, which in most states do not allow the injured to sue their employer.
