A plowing topic on the Deere forum reminded me of a tale my neighbor tells. He claims back when they had a super 88 gas they put oversized pistons in it and he claimed it dynode at 70 some horses. He didn't say if they put a 1650 carb and manifold on it. Then he claimed they pulled 4-16's eight inches deep all day long in our black northwest Iowa soil. I think he is full of it. What do you Oliver guys think?
My straight 88 gas with 3 3/4" pistons and 52 horses has it's hands full with 3-14's in second gear in tough fall plowing. Normal fall plowing might be third gear but the 88 would be busy.
