I,m a proud owner of a 49 Allis Chalmers W d and I plan to pull it. Is there a place or website where I can get the tricks of the trade setting up for the first time pull? Things such as hitch height, Tire Pressures and so on. Any help would be appreciated.

First thing is 3500# class will be by far your best class cuz if you go to 4500# there are many tractors with 38" wheels and they are tough to beat. I usually run about 6 lbs of air in my tires and I don't play with that too much. next your stock 2 piece draw bar needs to be made into 1 piece and shortened - most rules are 18" from the center of the axle and 18" high. That will get u started.

Get with people from your area that pull a similar tractor to yours and ask them for tips on all the questions you just posted. Ask the location of the pulls for copies of the rules ahead of time so you can set your tractor up ahead of time, the rules usually vary from location to location. While at the pull watch other people pulling similar tractors to yours to see where they place weights, ask what air pressure they run. Set your tractor up as close to the rules as your allowed, there is a reason they have minimums and maximums, and that is because it will give you the most advantage. Most of all,HAVE FUN!

it just depends on the club, different clubs have different rules. So check the club's rules out and go from there. pulling is really fun.
fix the regulator clutch and hand clutch before u pull, or u will probaly tear them out.
Just don't get scared. It is really fun.
The 1st time you get off the line u will be on high of your life.
Tire pressure depends on track conditions, weather,etc...
Weights some times u need them on the front, back , middle, or all three at times depends on track conditions.
Make u some wheelie bars before you pull!!!!!
Get your drawbar as high of the ground as the rules will allow, and get your drawbar as close to the tractor as the rules will allow.
Have fun and good luck pulling
