I know this is going to seem silly but has anyone taken the time to inspect the exhaust pipe, I have had the muffler and catalytic converter both to come apart and until someone cleans the pipes out milage and power are terribly compromised.

I am a little confused no rules no cheating. How was the hitch high if there was no rule on height. I have ran a high hitch when there wasn't a rule saying how high it could be, didn't consider that cheating because there was no rule. The only thing i can think of was using a revlimiter instead of the governor. Don't know if that was cheating but everytime they checked the rpm'

Used to be a commercial on the tnn network,, back several years ago went something like this, " The Mission Impossible, 7 engines, 56 spark plugs, he trusts his to autolite, shouldn't you." Hope you have good luck.

If you could find a set of used michelins they are an excellent hot farm tire, just seems impossible to locate a set for pulling. I think the B.F. power savers are a close second.

Go to your nearest agco dealer and request a new motor for your g1000 MM and see what the parts specialist behind the counter has to offer. Would be interesting to hear the responses given from all parts of the country.

Only in the alky 8000 class, the others only allow for 2wd engines. There are a couple of 903's out now, the Controlled Chaos and the Crazy Canuck. Would like to see one with Massey metal.

Have any of you all looked at an Ntpa license agreement, heck they have three cutoffs for money. I don't guess any of the people posting above noticed those increases just the ppl on march 1. Personally haven't joined any of them this year too many family issues to worry about a bunch of travel. Maybe someone can explain but i always thought the cutoff dates were too encourage early mem

I think that patches wanted to deal in reality. I have always emphasized to my racing neighbors that in pulling you get your chance and that is it, thus the challenge. I have went racing with the cousins and spent all day trying to figure out this or that on the track. Seemed like a bunch of work to go right back to where the car was set before we left the yard. At some pulls where the ag tronix

There should be a long head bolt on the front of the engine that will accept an eye bolt, wrapping the chain around the three speed won't hurt anything that I know of the company had a plate that bolted on the back of the head with two bolts that I used. I have seen the chains wrapped around the front balancer and the bellhousing. One thing, sounds like you haven't done this yet be cert

In my opinion, the only problem with the dsl truck class can be fixed easily, two big skid loaders or another telehandler and move'em along, the tractors are okay but they need front wt to handle the trucks. It was almost comical to watch the support drivers unlocking brakes and driving with the front in the air. As for one truck timing out, I have seen pro stocks, super farm and super stock

richard rockefeller had the best deal on this i have seen, it may be in the archives from way back. His name on here is the policy peddler, look it up and see what the law he had states and it is a federal law holds up anywhere with the judge anyway.

well, justin build the big cube dsl and try your luck, I doubt if anyone has ever ran a 650 against the 504 alky to find out if there is an advantage. It would be interesting, might just allow for a dsl to be dominant in the light class. Somehow I don't think it will matter over the course of a season.

close but not quite, you are leaving out johnny trexler, who got the ford then later the ih from weaver, I think the original ih became a super farm, like most other ag tractors.

Maybe you shouldn't address it as all core fans, i myself love the n/a tractors not so much the v-8's but in a combo class it would be fine by me , as for the class at g'ville maybe you should have watched it instead of complaining, dobbs cummin for nothin has a turbo so there goes that theory. I have always appreciated the subtle differences between classes but I have sat and list

heck this happened at the winter nationals Atpa had back in 02, i think, the tire went to the sand pile at a pretty good clip just wasn't anywhere else to go after it hit the sand. i don't know the solution but to say this is the first time seen shows the limited memory of people. I have never seen one jump that high but who can predict where loose parts are going. Best thing about the

mounting the turbo is simple enough but according to most associations current rules using the turbo to suck fuel and blow to the intake is now illegal, search blow thru carbs and there is a complete explanation of how to set the carb. Takes about 7 pages printed, gives a complete rundown of everything needed to blow through the carb, which is legal. Timing is very critical in this procedure; goo
