Just got bit by the antique tractor pulling bug and naturally I'm looking for more POWER. My tractor is a 1950 G John Deere. Currenly have it bored .125 over with high compression AL pistons. I know I can change the head to a flat head and put the compression to about 11 to 1. I don't plan to spend the money to go to a Power block or a longer throw crank. (Unless you know of one at a reasonable price.) It a has electronic ignition, factory type coil, Negitive ground and an alternator. Looking for a different cam. It currently has a freshly reground factory cam. Any spec. would nice to compare. Any ideas or tricks for more power would greatly be valued. Thank You.
