Hi guys new to this forum. Been around tractors a lot. I really want to get a b for pulling. My old man has a 42 a. I was thinking of getting a b that a 42 +- a year or two. Pros? Cons?
 
Are you looking to build one or buy one ? I have 3 B pullers, & ones for sale or i can help
you get started on building your own. 607 377 0763 Also have model A set up to pull for
sale
 

If you have a lot of money to spend you can make a competitive puller out of a B. Just don't get the idea that the tractors that you will be pulling against will be stock. They aren't. Far from it. There are just a few rules that are strictly enforced. You will have to do a considerable amount of work to bring it to a competitive level, and that work costs. If you were to go with an MM, or AC or Ford or Oliver, or Farmall, or Case or Essex tridirectional, you can get the needed work done for a lot less.
 
I'm looking to build one. Just looking for ideas and what not. It would be a slow build due to being busy. What weight class you guys pull b's in? Around my area you don't see to many classes under 45 hundred pounds. This is just me guessing but I imagine that I'd have to build it up pretty big to be competitive in that class
 
You just have to watch where you pull. There are pulls that are strictly stock and if we see anything that is not stock it is kicked out. The pull I work at is first of September and I have kicked many out because of not being stock. Only exception is no muffler. And we do not go by weight but by plow size. Your Dad A would be 2 plow, the B you are talking about is 1 plow. And the model that does best in the pull over all is the B of 47 to 52 and in the 2 plow class. 3 plow class it is the single stick A of either 50 or 51 (forget year when to single stick from 2 stick tranny) to 52. They will usually beat out the Farmall H (2 plow) and M (3 plow), Usually only thing that will beat that A is a Cockshutt 40 or Coop E3 and that is because they have a lower low gear. And the pull requires lowest gear. If questions about power put on dyno and must not be more than 10% over Nebraska test so the late be could not test over 31 HP at dyno. Your Dads a could not test over 32 HP. SO yes there are pulls that are strictly stock. And we always have a croud watching.

Leroy, that is good that your club uses a dyno and makes a legitimate test of HP. Over the nearly twenty years that I have been pulling there have been pulls that have had a dyno once or twice but discontinued it due to protests. In my area most pulls have speed limits which we all thought were going to level the playing field, but turned out not to except on a very soft track which is a rarity now. The result is that you need power to play, and it is much more expensive to get more out of a JD than anything else.
 
Actually most of the tractors will have been on the dyno the day before
and most for several years before. And the dyno belongs to the man doing most of the running of the pull.
