I have a CA that seems to have a lot of power, What class would I pull in at a Antique tractor Pull. It is Stock but the rear tires are loaded (not sure about the fronts)The man I got it from said that it had Fire-crater pistons, Does that give it very much more horsepower, (if so, how much)Would I need more weight on the front. Where do you get the rear safety stops for the side of the drawbar(to stop rearing) Is this safety feature required before you pull!!!! Thanks

As for where to put weight, that is hard to say. If the tires are loaded you have pleanty of weight on the back and will probably need some on the front. It all depends on how long the chain is. A short chain will load the back of the tractor giving it more traction and pulling down on the drawbar more which will tend to raise the front. If the stock drawbar is used and the height comes into play too. Some allow hitching up closer to the axle center line than the stock drawbar. A longer chain will lessen the tendancy to wheelie to the point where, if the chain is long enough you may not ever wheelie. Some of the clubs around here use what looks like a 5' chain and they never wheelie and don't require wheelie bars. If the tractor even thinks of pulling wheelies you want wheelie bars even if they aren't required. You don't want the tractor to go over backwards with you under it. They test the wheelie bars by jacking up the tractor with each bar, thinking if it will hold the weight of the tractor it will probably stop a wheelie.

The stock CA's around here pull best in the 2800 thru 3250 pound classes. I would hope that the guy doesn't know what he is talking about when he said it had Fire crater pistons. That would lower the compression. The firing chamber on a CA is in the head not in the piston.
