In Reply to: Best big pulling tractors posted by Farming Enthusiast on April 12, 2023 at 17:12:52:

Well i have done SOME pulling in the past with the red tractors . the days of the PURE farm stock is about dead . As your going to run up against the ones claiming farm and that tractor has not seen a field in years. I also have and 806 and that old UGLY 806 put the whippen on a bunch of tractors BUT it was at a dead weight pull in the 12500 class , At that pull they just kept stacking on weights and one after another left and it came down to me and one of my customers and his 1456 . They had run out of weights to stack on the sled and wanted Stanley and i to spit the prize ,NAh find more weight and we put a Chubby guy on top the stack about another 350 Lbs . Stanly thought he had me by dragging the sled into a mud hole , welp that did not work as i pulled it out of the mud hole for a full pull where Stan did not make the full pull when he plated the sled in the hole and had to come back for his second try and failed . I have built five antique pullers for real close friends and each one was a winner out the gate . The one that was my favort was the one i built with my accountant , the only new parts we used was Rings Bearing And Gskt. Everything else came out of a scrap dumpster . we started with junk blocks , 6 scrap Cummins 855 sleeves 8 .060 over size allison pistons 4 farmall M connecting rods two junk heads four old style John Deere A valves a scrap crank shaft a used cam and built a 4 cylinder M M engine that was 335 CU . in. to 609 Cu in. A bendix carb off a Mil air compressor with a 3 inch intake throat , added in a inch stroke to the scrap crank had the cam built up and reground and when done four different drivers drove the tractor in four classes and won every class for two year running till we sold it . Now that was fun with A grand total of under 3500 in everything . Now what you can do with the 806 Well a good TUNE up for starters setting the valves DEAD on the money , next make sure your pupm timing is dead on then add 3-5 degrees to it ( this will take some playen to see where she likes it , Next open the pump up about 15 % , Ya can still farm with it but ya got to watch for her running warm , Keep a good clean air filter in it as she needs AIR . My 806 is running around 112 Hp with out a turbo ,another close friend and old customer with and 806 he has had since he got out of High School WAY back in 1974 has a turbo on his 806 and it is running at 118 and he farms with it . Tires , tires on certain tracks make the difference . Don't know what your running but myself i have always run Firestones . What i have learned Don't drop the tire pressure as when they come under a hard pull the centers buckle under and you loose traction ,learned that with my S/MTA and the big county pull , fist with low tire pressure when under load you lose draw bar height and like i said the center buckle under I spun out on my first hook and had LOTS of time to make changes before i had to come back for my second and i went and put air back in the tires and came back got my full pull and ended up winning . Way back i pulled a Farmall 450 D and we would take her on up to the 10500 classand give the 4020's and yes even the 806's fits . Now mind ya i did not go flying down the track in the 10500 it was 1st gear and all pull and when done there was not a skeeter left in five miles , that one was easy to twist the screw and turn up the wick , just open up the side cover crack the little lock nut loose insert allen wrench and back the screw out to the center punch mark in the threads on the screw , when done playen turn it back to farmen . I ran that engine at 5 mode degrees advance pump timing . My pride and joy of all the pullers i have worked on was my one friend 706 Gas Narrow ft , fast hitch with 15.5 x38's found in the dead row of a sale he and i went to twice a month and he gave 750 Dollars for . I rebuilt the engine did a few LITTLE tricks to it did a vary fine tune of the engine improved the carb tweaked the gov. recurved the dist. and Donny's 706 Gasser won EVERY dead weight pull it went to . We took it up to a pull just north of me for a two night pull and we got it in the 8500 class and i ran it and won , his kid runs it in the 9500 and wins that Donny ran the 10500 and won that . That was friday night and we left everything at the pull , came back saturday night and i pulled the 11500 and won that one his kid gets in the seat for the 12500 and wins that one and then the big jump 14500 class and DON cleans house up against some pretty big Pony's . To say the least they were NOT happy and told Don that next year don't come back your cheating . Welp next year we went back and did it all over once again , evrywhere that 706 went it came home with First places . His wife told him to stop Pulling as she was running out of room for the trophy's and this is a true story .
