I just bought a 70 all fuel. I see something's listed about the all fuel head in some discussions. Is this a good tractor to work over to make a pulling tractor out of. What needs to be done to it to make it competitive and what will it cost.

The all fuel has the advantage of more displacment & larger valves. The low compression limits efficiency & power. While many people have have success planing the block deck & head for more compression. Personally prefer changing pistons rather than weakening the gasket sealing surfaces. What class are you planning on competing in? The tractor can cost all the money you can pour into it.

By the time enough metal is milled away to effectively raise compression the pushrods will be too long & the sealing surfaces will be getting thin. Stroking the crank would be a better way to raise compression & increase displacememnt. Calculate the CR you want, measure the components & stroke as required. Don't whack the piston into the sparkplug however. Then change the cam if you are in there that far. Green Magazine & the Hook Magazine has several venders with hot rod parts. There are several "G" experts over on the pulling page of this site.

I really don't know that much about the classes yet. I just bought this on a spur of the moment and figure it would be a fun hobby for the summer. I am one of those yrpies (Young Rural Professional) that everyone seems to despises on this site. Grew up on the farm but left to peruse another career in information Technologies. I truly enjoy making something run like a top after screwing with computers all day.

There are all kinds of little tricks to gain HP.. but I would not go too wild with that tractor.. The head is probably worth as much as the tractor.. As some of the guys that Pull JD G's are looking for that head to put on a G... As the All Fuel head will bolt right on.. and allow the duplex carb on a G. Like someone above stated, it depends on the classes in your area.. Need to find a starting place. But U have picked a good tractor to start with.. (hehe.. its a Deere isn't.. than its a good one..) but it is a little more difficult to take the lbs of the 70. Basically it all boils down to Cubic Dollar$.. Compression is cheap horsepower, but "There's no replacement for Displacement."
