When I was in drag racing I ran stock class. we were allowed to bore .20 over and cut .10 from the heads, we could tweak the carb to its best but it had to a factory carb that came with the car. We could also tweak the distributor and make small mods to it. All parts of the car had to be stock seats had to be factory not stripped out to lighten them. We were allowed to run cheater slicks on the rear but front tires had to be stock size. I had a Dodge so i was able to turn the torsion bars up to put more wait on the rear. Now they have what it called pure stock these cars have to show room ready no modifications what so ever. I think they need to use this at the pulls One clubs here does do that if you even take the muffler off you have to run Category 2 Category 1 must be all stock. That helps those who have a stock tractor compete and have chance to win. What we really need is a national group or club that can set down the rules so all pulls can follow the same set of rules for each class. Anybody want to volunteer to put it together I would be willing to help get it off the starting blocks I think its about time. National Tractor Pulling Association sounds good to me. Or NTPA We can setup rules for weight classes and two categories 1 and 2, Pure stock and Stock Modified. One thing that made me mad last year was i had to run category 2 because my 1945 LA didn't have a Muffler, they didn't have a muffler as an option until 1948 so i was stock but they made the rules and I had to abide. Killed me just because of this. If we get a national organization for people to join and follow one set of rules then little tings like this can be taken care of and make a lot of people happier at the pulls both pullers and spectators.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
