Well written Jake, there are rumors that Ohio and Pa are going to close universities and schools for the remainder of this year, with a switch to online classes.
Regarding outdoor venues, major league baseball and NASCAR have both cancelled for the next couple of weeks and those are outdoor activities, although maybe it was to keep people separated with the hopes that it would help stop the s

If you need a sled for antiques, surely there is a club in your area that would be willing to supply a sled.

Canfield Ohio fair is a very good fair, there are lots of vendors, animal shows, old town display, etc to see while you are waiting for the pull to start. The stands are typically standing room only.

The subject of bore versus stroke relationship to horsepower and torque has been debated for years with no consensus of opinion. There was an article in Hot Rod years ago on a NA gasoline V8, where they compared an over square engine and an under square engine with the same valves, heads, carburation etc. It made no difference in torque or horsepower.
I would suggest doing what makes sense to

I for one would like to see a free body diagram, I haven't had to do one since Engineering school, 40 years ago. Don't forget this is not a static system, it is a dynamic system, so your free body diagram should have variables for the forces and angles.

I do not understand, the volume in the pipe would be a couple of cubic feet, the air flow is hundreds of cubic feet per minute, so how can the volume in the piping have much of an impact?

Is anyone here familiar with Art Forest from central Pa, Art pulls antiques, farm stock, hot farm etc. He has been pulling for probably 50 years (maybe more), including winter pulls with NATPA. Probably not what the OP was thinking, but he didn't specify what type of pulling.

If the OP builds it the way he proposes, he eliminates the need for tiebars which are required by some organizations. FWIW, Brad Maibach has built at least for tractor the way the OP has proposed.

Why do you keep saying 8 the difference is 14, not that much but it would be nice to do the math correctly.

This issue comes up every year, there is always a competitor who is just outside the established rules and wants the rules stretched to allow them to compete. SO if you let in 480, what do you when a Case guy wants to run a 504 etc? The line has to be drawn somewhere. How many more tractors will you get and how many will you lose, if you allow 480 in3?

The current turbo rules is 3LM466 stock turbo, I think that is going to change this year to a limit on inlet and outlet size.
I am currently using a Roosamaster pump.

What is the recipe for a dependable Cummins 5.9 with a 3000 RPM limit, rotary pump and limited turbocharger?
I would like to make 500 bhp.

Dennis Goodman's LLPS Massey, was the left side rear wheel or hub slipping, causing the tractor to go left? And then it came off?

There is a class in western Pa that is close, it called Tough Farm. 7k and 8k weight classes. 360 In3 max, 3000 RPM, 3LM466 turbo (or similar), rotary pump etc.
There are currently four tractors running regularly with others in the works.

The answer is it depends, you would have to do a dimensional stack up to make sure the rod is properly centered in the piston and that the crank cant move far enough to cause the rod to hit the radius on the crank. You might be able to put the engine together and move the rod back an forth and move the crank the opposite direction and make sure that you have clearance between the rod and the radi

It depends on how the rod is constrained, is it made to use the crankshaft flanks to control the location or is it made to use the inside of the piston to control rod location? Most people expect the rod location to be controlled by the flanks of the crankshaft, but it doesn't have to be.

Our class rules require the use of a "box stock" 3LM466 on our 5.9 Cummins with a rotary pump at 3000RPM. We are having a hard time spinning the turbo to get off the line and at the end of the run we go under the turbo. We also are running high exhaust temperatures. It is my belief that this turbo is not a good match for this class and I do not believe my competitors are actually using this turb

Claim rules have been tried in local motorsports, but it doesn't work there, either the guy refuses to agree to the claim in which case he is baned from further competitions with that group. Another approach is to have something no one else wants, why would an IH guy want an Oliver engine or a fuel pump that work on his engine?
