Well good luck, I hope you did more than put big tires on the rear and an SC nose in it. There are some people on this forum that have had lots of experience with DC pullers.

My 40 dc starts in 4500 but could easily be made to make 4000 though it usually pulls better heavier. My CC usually needed at least 400lbs. and sometimes as much as 600 on the front making 3500 a real problem.

don't you have an 11 foot weight rule? everyone elso does, how much bore and stroke? I am leery of any clamp on hub. I've seen many crack over the years.

I won't pick your Tractor apart like others. Looks good keep up the hard work and its good to see a case puller among the green and red ones.

you don't have to be sorry to me, the 24" rule is not fair to some tractors including a Case, 11 ft. rule makes it the same for everyone, how much engine does it have? my 436 incher wasn't big enough to run open gear classes but was competitive in a 4 or 5mph class

Thank you for your kind words Loren, Please do not discount Brutus's advice, He has been pulling for years also and has the Case engine down pretty well. I consider him a great friend and we chat via phone. He pulls at a different level than we here in Pa and his setups may be a bit different than back East here where NATPA has not gotten a foothold, he runs with a pretty tough pulling crowd and on a first name basis with some of the best
