I am goingto a tractor pull tonight. I am pulling my father-in-laws 730 diesel. I am a die in the wool red collector and puller and have never even sat on a 2 cylinder Deere.

I need to know how to pull it. How do I get some more power out of it? We can only make 700 PTO rpm's. Is there a way to turn up the fuel? What gear do I pull it in? I know the sled will have a straight chain so no real down draft. It has 18'4-38's on it.

Any Help would really be appreciated.

Thanks

Stephen

I pull a 730 in 8000 - 10,000 lbs classes. Follow the throttle linkage and you can find an adjustment that will give you more RPM. Just dont go nuts with a tractor that old. I pull in 2nd gear (which would be 1st gear if your tractor doesnt have the creeper 1st gear). If you have the creeper gear you might try that. Sometimes they are the ones that win the pulls, and sometimes they're 20' back, just depends on the track. Also make sure the clutch is adjusted up. These tractors seem to like it heavy. I usually pull 9500, and have maybe 200lbs out front, the rest on the back. Every once and a while I'll sneak past the 4010's. It's just getting lucky enough to find a good spot on the track, and missing the holes.

No 466's that I know of yet. The pulls I've been going to are pretty good on keeping things "stock". Most of the pullers know when a tractor has been messed with. If someone is 2 gears higher and 20' past everyone else running the same tractor, they're asked not to bring it back, ha ha.

Some of us do still have "stock" antique pulls.

Wow that's amazing,around here ohio everything you see is souped up to some degree.

If they keep them all stock that makes it more fair and fun !

We're a few years behind the souped up craze, but it's getting to that point here. Nobody wants to just have fun, they have to ruin it by seeing who can spend the most $$$!

Depending on what kinda pull your entered in you could be pulling against 100+ HP 4010's of the same weight class. So you are screwed from the start as those 2cyl. are so heavy for their HP. Just put it in one of the lower gears 1st or 2nd ? open it wide open and enjoy the slow ride up to where you spin out.
