Heres a few pictures from the Nevada,MO pull held on Sunday afternoon..There was a 90% chance for rain at pull time so several pullers stayed at home..Some how the rain held off long enough to get all the tractors done....The track had been watered a little too much but we found places to pull and it had a bite....The tractors had 69 hooks and the garden tractors had 119 hooks...I had to make 3 trips hauling tractors home and literally drowned on the last 2 loads while loading and unloading...
J P Dunn from Tebbets,MO on his high rpm 6000 Ford with a 300 six banger backed up by a 2 speed Powerglide..JP took it to the end twice to win the 5000 Open and 5500 Open classes..After the pull was over we got in a barn at the fairgrounds to get out of the rain and jacked up the tractor...The rear wheels went back to Tebbets and the rest of the tractor is now at my place...I've always wanted a high rpm naturally aspirated tractor and this was one that I could afford...This is the old Buckeye Reaper formerly from Ohio...The Robinsons in North MO had it for awhile and it had sit for 5 years before JP got it and put it back on the track....Its something different and should be a fun tractor.
I couldn't get the front off the ground at 3500 lbs but took care of that in the 4000 lb class..

The 5000 Open class had 5 entries and 2 of them were 6000 Fords...Heres 81 year old Tom Holcomb taking his 6000 Ford down the track...This tractor has won several titles in the 5000 lb 10 MPH class with the Spring River Pullers....Tom also had his 8000 Ford in the 6000 Open class.
Rick Rice taking his strong 363 Continental powered 101 Massey down the track in the 4500 Open...He also hooks the 5000 Open...Rick was on the wheelie bars more than once..
Desiree Dunn from Tebbets,MO taking her 70 JD diesel down the track in the 5500 5 MPH class....She also hooked at 6000 lbs.
Dwayne Sturges from Falcon,MO on his Super 88 Oliver..He had a long drive and pulls with us quite often...He moved to MO from Minnesota..
I can only get 10 pics on here so will do more in another post.
