I have had two tractors that were well above the SMV sign limit , one was a Farmall 460 gasser that down to the stop she would turn around 2650-2700 and below the stop we have had it to 6500 RPM and chasen a pick up down the road at 65MPh . Then there was the oliver 88 with a 66 Ford 390 Gt engine in it with a 735 cfm holley setting on it and 18.4x34 tires that did not amuse a state bear one Saturday in Oct. 1970 with two full gravity boxes of ear corn racen a VW on a two lane state highway . Had they not given me the flyen fickled finger i would not have opened her up and keep them out in the left lane . I did not see the statey behind me and when they came up along side of me and gave me the finger i just had to open her up and they could not get around me and were loosen ground till i backed out of it because of a oncoming car.I got pulled over and i was explained the speed limits for a SMV signed vehicle and 67 did not fall under the rules. Then after the arres chewen he had to look the Oliver over as he had never seen a tractor with a car engine in it before and complemented me on a nice job. IT was a great haulen tractor from the fields down to the set of scales and back to the farms cruised nice at around 35-40 good tight ft. end did not wobble or shake .
