We pull an 1850 with a 5.9 Cummins with a straight shaft. We need a gear in between 5th and 6th, what would you recommend, BTW I do not want to loose 5th or 6th gear. We load onto a deckover trailer, so I need to have a gear for loading. Thanks Rich

Re: BG -WPI/Blue Shirts - 2 years ago

You guys have convinced me that I do not want to go to Bowling Green, drive all that way, pay motel bills, fuel bills, meals and tickets with no refunds and no rain date if the pull is rained out. Sounds similar to playing the lottery. Rich

Re: If you could change (1) one thing about pulling? - 2 years ago

I would like to see more cooperation across different organizations in terms of rules and schedule dates. In our area, it is not unusual to have three pulls in a 50 mile radius on one weekend and no pulls for the next two weekends.

Re: Western Pa Light Tough Farm - 2 years ago

Tractor pulling is not fair, pick your combination and go pulling. This is not what we call to hot to farm, in this class cubes are limited to 360. Rich

Re: Western Pa Light Tough Farm - 2 years ago

All tractors are required to run a rotary pump, UNLESS the tractor shipped from the factory with something else. The obvious engine choices are (IH) DT360, (Oliver, White, Massey) Perkins 354 and (almost any brand) Cummins 5.9, I am not fluent in JD or other brands to know what fits for them. Rich

Re: Antique pullers - 5 years ago

You might want to attend the NATPA pull after Thanksgiving in Wauseon Ohio, NATPA has a website that will give you the schedule for Friday and Saturday. You will see many of Michigan's best tractors at this pull. And can probably make some contacts to answer some of your questions.

There was a study many years ago done by HotRod magazine, two gasoline engines, same displacement but different bore stroke ratios, the HP curves were nearly identical.

That was interesting, better than watching TV, the steering clutches on the crawlers was a good idea, the old JD crawlers we had were a pain to fix. I wonder how well the gearing held up? Thanks Rich

Re: Oliver Engine OIl Pump - 8 years ago

ol George Thanks for the feedback, I will pull the plunger etc and inspect the parts and the port in the block. I received the 1800 pump earlier this week, and I plan on going through it before I install it in my motor. Regards Rich
