Will this get an Oliver 1950 4-53 Detroit down to 7800 lbs so I can pull the 8000 lb class.I weigh 200 lbs. Narrow front with 6x16's
Wood or fiberglass grill
Dual hubs with cut 18.4x38's on pressed steel rims
Pull the PTO assembly
Take off all 3pt stuff except the housing
Take off the fenders
Run 3 gals of fuel
Homemade pulling drawbar It now weighs 12,400 lbs with 80 % full 18.4x38's, WF,3 pt,pto,and full of fuel.It had the starter weight on the front too. I need 400 horses to pull it at 10,000.So its drop to 8000 or forget it.I'm guessing I cant make 8000 without taking the complete 3 pt off and going to a lighter rear end. Lee W that posts on here got a 1900 to 7000 lbs.
