I have been fortunate enough to have access to a dyno to check my tractors. Directions I were given: 1. Set factory RPM on tractor. 2. Hook up dyno (warm oil to operating temp. 3. Engage pto and apply drag until pto rpm to 540. 4. Read gauge for HP. I followed these directions on an Allis wd45 diesel, turned 52.5 hp @ 540 pto rpm and immediately dropped when appyling more drag. I then put an Oliver 88 diesel on it, turned 35 hp @ 540 pto rpm and climbed to 57 when I applied more drag. Is this correct operation, and on the oliver how many hp does it have, 35 @ 540 or 57 when drag aggressively applied? My goal is to become a little more competitive at the pulls. Thanks for any input on this subject.
