It Should Have Been A 3rd Place Hook

Last Sunday afternoon at Columbus,KS there were 5 of us in the 5000 Open class....Start at 10:16 in this video and go to 11:13 mark to see the final 3 hooks in this
class...The 101 Massey and Fordson Super Major are both real tough tractors and had the ground speed at 10 and 14 mph...My 6000 Ford was running like crap and didnt
have the rpms or the ground speed that it should have had..The 18.4x38 Firestone deep treads were hooked and somehow got the tractor out to 336 ft to win 1st when I
thought that it would be lucky to be 3rd place....

It has a new CRT Performance HEI distributor and a new 120 gph fuel pump...At the next pull it will have new plugs, wires,and Q16 fuel...The last time it hooked it was
turning the rpms but the distributor came apart..That one was hooked up to a MSD 6 box while this one isn't...

Thanks I liked it. I watched the Ford pull back when JP had it. Demonstrated one with a 5 bottom mounted plow when they came out. It was Red and gray. The plow would raise and lower twice with the motor off. Heard yours has a power glide. Keep on keeping on.
 
When I bought it we thought it had a Powerglide but it turns out that it has a Ford Cruise-O-Matic with either a 2000 or 2500 stall convertor..After being built in 2003 and pulled in Ohio for a few years it went to a Robinson in northern Missouri..I saw him pull it at the Missouri State Fair about 10-12 years ago and loved it...It had sat for 5 years when JP got it..When JP decided to sell it I had to have it just to be different.
 
Thanks...They sure didnt have a very good reputation...Whats funny is that I have a 81 year old friend thats pulled a worn out 6000 Ford for almost 15 years and its never
gave him any trouble..He's been points champ quite a few times in the Spring River 5000 lb class at 10 mph....Here he is at Miller,MO in 2019..
