A 600 is still a BIG cube motor. We need a high performance diesel class for 505-510 cubic inch motors. Ask a Ford or AC guy if 600 is a BIG motor!by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

The smoke tube did not break during a class, but there were a few tube repairs this year. The Farm Show has a very good schedule which allows repairs in between classes. The were a couple of occasion that I notice some tube repair going on during an alcohol class just after the first diesel class had finished, but they seemed to be minor repairs. Thankfully not a single repair affected the shoby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: tired of it - 16 years ago
Maybe you’re new to the page but I’ve stated numerous times that I think motors and sheetmetal should match. By the way, it’s not just Magnums, but MX’s, MXM’s, Puma’s and now even 1206’s with a DT466, where does it end? The other brands aren’t any different either, it’s way out of hand, and getting worse every year. I honestly believe we are not far from an Agco hooded Deere, or worse yet, aby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: tired of it - 16 years ago
It's the fact that we disagree that makes this page fun! Thanks for the great posts. As for safety, I think there are plenty of ways to make a stock block as safe as possible. Shrouding and tie downs can be engineered to contain anything in a worst case event.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: Turn Me Loose (PS) at NFMS - 16 years ago
If Turn Me Loose was DQ in the pulloff he would have gotten second. Guess what, he got second. If Turn Me Loose had beaten El Nino then I think the committee would have given him a DQ, but he got second no matter what so there's no point in complaining about it. It put on a good show and gave a little drama to the finish, lets just leave it at that, it didn’t affect the results at all.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: 505-510 Light Pro Stock - 16 years ago
You're definitely right about the foreign tractors adding some excitement... I know I was curious to watch the alcohol SS class to see how the Dutch motor would perform. I’d love to see the Farm Show chip in a little money to get the Bit’s and Pieces tractor(s) over here some Winter so we could see how the complete European tractors compare. Check your PM, I sent you a message.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: 505-510 Light Pro Stock - 16 years ago
A 505-510 class won't be any more economical at the top tier. The top guys will have just as much into a 505 as they do a 680. However, here the big BUT… It might be cheaper for the guys looking to start out and finish at the back of the pack. They might be able to jump in the class with a few less expenses. The limit will always be what you can spend. Europe proves it can be more divby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: tired of it - 16 years ago
Actually they have a tractor class for billet blocks, it’s called Modified. Build a huge billet block any size you want and put whatever hood on you want and go pulling. Go crazy and put the biggest billet steel chunk you can, make it 1200 CID, put 500 lbs of boost to it, with three billet pumps. Make it into a 6030 Deere, wait, I take that back, I think I like 5010 a little better. Or you coby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

Announcing at the NFMS - 16 years ago
I have one piece of constructive criticism for all announcers, but this also relates to the NFMS: Don’t talk while the tractor is coming up on RPM’s! I love to listen to the turbo spooling up, I love to hear when a tractor goes from the choppy-idle sound to the smooth, ever higher revving, until it finally lights sound. My advice is don’t talk while they are building boost, there are two reasonby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: Poll #2-- How do you rate the vehicle selection for the NFMS-- - 16 years ago
I’d give the selection committee a B. I thought there was great variety of new faces mixed in with the regulars. I can think of a few guys that I would have liked to see in a few classes, like Blagraves Red Horse, it probably made the finals more times than anyone except Esdon, but I also enjoyed seeing some different variety in that class.

Re: Poll #3-- How do you rate the 2009 NFMS-- - 16 years ago
I thought the pull was in the B category until the finals. I thought the sled setting in the Mod and Alcohol super class were both off. We were sitting there in disbelief when they didn’t reset the sled after Purser’s first run, he could have taken the sled back to Oklahoma with him if he wanted. I wasn’t the least bit surprised to see every mod easily go out the end. I know people thinkby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

Re: Bill Vories?? - 16 years ago
Horsepower is obviously a huge part of the game, but horsepower is only part of the equation, American Thunder was setup better than any tractor in the class. Both runs were picture perfect, Bill picked one front tire an inch off the ground and the other front tire a few inches and he was off to the races. No wheelie bars, no hooking/unhooking, not even the slightest bobble. I honestly believeby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
