Most of us who have followed this forum for any length of time recall the days when a little more technical advice was asked and given. I for one miss reading the replies, ideas, etc... I have a nephew very interested in pulling, but is quite young so naturally money is an issue. Now before someone fires back at me that there's no such thing as a cheap puller, I agree, but do however feel that there is a lot more economical routes to take to success than others. So I thought it would be a fun thread to read if "been there, done that" pullers would share set ups they come up with. I do not mean stroked cranks, custom built pistons, or engines of the sort, I'm talking "improved" stock set ups. For example.....which AC chasis to start with running engine out of what, or crank and rods out of ?? using pistons from ??? etc..... Or which Oliver base tractor using dodge pistons from whatever, rods from whatever.....etc.... Also, we all know balance and traction are extremely important, I'm talking economical HP. To keep this sport alive and thriving, we need to keep younger people moving into the sport as others retire. Having a little success only makes them more enthusiastic. So, anyone out there willing to share some info? Thanks for reading, and Happy Holidays!
