As I understand the rules, it was "made PRIOR TO 1939." So you can't pull a 1939 M. It's too new.

Sure, you can "tune" an F-20 and get a few tenths of a horsepower out of it, but you can't overbore for high altitude 450 pistons and sleeves, install a 450 cam and crank, shave down a head and get 65HP out of the engine. You can do that with an M, though.

Maybe it's personal. Maybe it's personal against the guy that started this thread. We'll never know. But to say it doesn't make sense doesn't make sense, because it makes sense. People with deep pockets tend to ruin the competitiveness of an event. By limiting the competition to tractors that can't be heavily modified to "blow away the competition" simply because the parts to do so do not exist is one way to keep the event competitive without making too many rules complicating things.
