There was an antique puller that pulled at Tunica that had a van with a cable lift to open and close the ramp. I do not know the specifics, but the cable let go and the ramp fell on him, putting him the hospital. The year I was at Tunica they were doing a fund raiser for his medical bills.
The reason I mention this is as a caution, if you are going to use a cable lift, make sure everyone stays

It depends on your goals, if you are OK with 230 F intake air, then using engine coolant will work and many engines are done this way. Take coolant from the discharge of the water pump, or use a dedicated pump and take coolant from the outlet of the radiator (usually the bottom).

I talked to a young man running an IH666 and a 3LM466 turbo this weekend. He said the 3LM466 turbo was too big for the 312 and he added a restrictor plate between the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger, he said he got the idea from a posting on PullOff. I am curious on the theory behind adding a restriction between the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger. I can see that it would raise the ex

Also last we checked into it. There wasnt any diesel emission standard above 700 hp.
I worked for GE building diesel locomotive engines, these engines range from 1250 to 6000 hp and have been regulated for emissions since the 1990's.

Usually an orifice is used to reduce oil pressure to the turbocharger, I am not sure what size is right for your application, it will take some trial and error to determine the right size.

I am surprised that any club would allow an engine with a 28 in3 advantage compete in the class.

I tried to watch the race, but found it difficult to follow. Next year they need to have it as a night race, that way the cars will not be going into and out of shadows, it would also make it better for the drivers to see.

The formula for area is
Diameter x Diameter x 3.1416 / 4
5 x 0.013 holes equals 0.00066 in2
4 x 0.015 holes equals 0.00071 in2
So the 4 hole have slightly more flow area

Just spent a day on the dyno recently, water infront of the turbo gained me nothing. Actually lost power, but each there.

There were different options for the transmissions, your best bet is to take the serial number and go to the AGCO parts site (Google it) and enter as a guest. It will not be easy to decipher but you should be able to figure it out.

If you are in the Mansfield area, Marshallville is about an hour east of you
Sterling is about 45 minutes east of you, I think they have a FB page, but I was not able to find it.
There is an online listing in the Ohio Farm and Dairy for pulling events, in a normal year there are lots of county fair pulls in your area.
I would not give up on your H, in a 3 mph class a stock H can

Depending where in central Ohio you are located, there are several clubs that have antique pulls, such as Marshallville and Sterling, if you could tell us where you plan on pulling we could give you some better advice.

I would suggest using truck and tractor classes from Northwest Pullers Association and then add classes for Stock and Antiques per Western Pa Antique Tractor Pullers. The antique classes would likely be best attended if you used the Div 2 and Div 4 classes from WPATP. Their respective websites have the rules posted and have contact information.
