I took my 1953 E-5 Coop and 1956 Cockshutt 40 Deluxe tractors to the Adrian,MO tractor show on June 25th..I entered both of them in the 5500-6500 lb class at the tractor pull..Its a 1st gear weight percentage pull..
The E-5 weighed 5505 lbs (scales were light) and pulled 324% to beat 11 other tractors....Time and time again I thought it was going to spin out but those old 45 degree Goodyears kept clawing and fighting......I was one of the few that carried the front..I was sure proud of it..
My Cockshutt 40 Deluxe weighed 5510 lbs and only pulled 289%....It had the same drawbar set up and tire pressure but the 18.4 Firestones never got ahold of the track..
