Re: first self propelled sled - 14 years ago
yea me too..it looks very interesting,and has a small pan.but by the tractors in the background,it must have used a whole bunch of weight.the weight doesn't appear to get much past the drive axle of the truck,doesn't look to transfer much to the trucks front axle.i imagine this truck had a 238in it,and didnt all the cracker boxes have aluminum cabs,the truck itself wouldn't be veryby patches - Forum
Re: first self propelled sled - 14 years ago
this sled works very good,i pulled it many times in the mid 80's.tractors from 2500# to 4wd articulated pulled on this sled .it is still in use today in western pa.by patches - Forum
Re: Pressed Steel Rims vs. Cast Center Rims?? - 14 years ago
night moves and dickerson used the same type of wheel weight.they were both round in shape,as you stated,but the center of the weight was also round.the weight was suported on a round hanger,so there would be no energy spent on rotating the weight.the hanger would be spinning inside the weight,with friction less than trying to rotate the weight.by patches - Forum

Re: Patches - 14 years ago
i am not sure of a diesel advantage,how can a 5liter sb ford with a 80mm turbo be approaching 1500hp.i know they are using heads with very good port and chamber design,but wouldnt a 540 gas tractor motor with a 4.1 and heads with good ports and a average chamber surpass the 5 liter.i am assuming some sort of injection(port) will be used on the gas motor.by patches - Forum
Re: Check out the POLL - 14 years ago

Re: is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 14 years ago
im assuming this would be a national class,with lots of hooks.so looking back through the years has there ever been one herc diesel or a mm diesel ever competitive,i dont mean for one or two hooks but consistently over a few years.i can not recall one.with all the talk of box turbos and a claimer rule,couldn't a gas or lp fuel system be made to work from off the shelf and catalog parts fromby patches - Forum
Re: is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 14 years ago
wouldn't the only blocks allowed be ag type.i can see the sawmill engine being used ,but what would it replace.shouldn't the replacement block be able to swing a ag crank.i would also agree with sdf823 on the dusty floor,i encountered problems in the 310 with serious cracking ,with no blower and moderate rpm's.by patches - Forum
Re: is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 14 years ago
i cant see why not,if it is going to be a light pro class,it would make sense to use a fi system.the diesel tractors will get any size p-pump,so why cant a gas tractor use injection.look at cespedes mm,that tractor has been run for years,and has never dominated anything or anywhere.colbergs mm also,i havent seen it run but a few times,and it was not dominating either.as a matter of fact,most fansby patches - Forum
is the lps afraid of gas??????? - 14 years ago
in all the talk below only one person comented on a gas fueled tractor.a 4010 never came with a p-pump,but it did with a carb.a oliver with a herc ,doesnt stand a chance,nor does a mm,probably could throw a case in there to.thier heads just are not good for performance.all three of these brands have a good option on gas power,even with the stock oem heads.all three can easily get to 540,all threeby patches - Forum

isn't there enough classes already for the larger frame tractors in this area now.just look in the farm and dairy,90 percent of the classes are for antique tractors,antique tractors with v-8's,at 3000 or 5000 rpm's,and 10,000-12,000 farm stock,open farm,hot farm,or super farm.the na 5500-7500 class is close to dead,and there is no class to hot rod a light tractor in,what is wrong wby patches - Forum

does the 6000 only have a select o speed transmission,or is there a direct gear drive also.this really sounds like a low budget ride.i know around here the 300-6 motors are everywere in junkyards.is this 362 dorsett motor like a 300 or a 401.also would a rear from a 4000 or 5000 work.by patches - Forum
