Did you ever see that contraption he built to replace a pulling sled? He said it would revolutionize tractor pulling. He had it at a pull at Crystal Motor Speedway one Sunday afternoon. It had turbines on it and a pair or 24.5 32 tires. It must have worked something like what they used in the Nebraska Tractor Tests. He had an old ammo box on the back of it and after every pull,they'd open it up and get some digital reading. Trouble is,every pull was a full pull. They'd just go three hundred feet,stop and read the meter. It was about as exciting as watching paint dry.
They pulled a couple of classes with it that day then hooked back on to the weight transfer machine. I know it sure wasn't the show I'd paid to see. I don't know that anybody else cared for it either. I never saw it again. I don't know if he ever took it anywhere else or not. There wasn't even any mention of it in either one of his books.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
