Last time I had seen a small MM pull around here was a very long time ago,, They are from up around Churubusco (Spelling) Indiana, they had a few of them,, One was a Twin City,, and the other was a R, Got beat on sevral occasions by those tractors!! I seen him at a pull earlier this year, did not get a chance to sit down and talk with him, just wonder if he still had them!! The family was very competitive with the tractors they pulled, and he seen my ZAU, grabbed his eye I think. Todays fuel,,, we all miss leaded fuels,, but we have to do with what is offered these days, some of the pump gas aint too bad!! Just have to tune in the proper octane, and if possible, a slower burning fuel,, makes torque,,, Ya know,, we all get caught up in how big to make an engine,, gotta go for the big power,,,, strokers,,, big bores,, cams,, etc,, I like these more and more I look. Cause to me,, it is more fun to do it myself,, bolt it together, and make a good strong puller. You know as well as I do,,, inthose light classes,,, that big hp can kick you in the butt, and the ones who get the bragging rights, are the lower hp tractors that you get on them, and drive, the engine does the job a person designed it for, I have one of those big HP modified antiques,, I regret it sometimes,, but would never go back as long as that color is concerned. Tractors like the MM, are famous for making the big power, with doing little to them but bolt of better parts and upgrades. More for less??? maybe,,, But I think,, a spicy ,slightly larger cubic inch engine, would be great,, for div 3,, 3500-4000 lbs,, a good 70-80 hp is all you need, you can tune the HP with tire size, sure all the others say go BIG,,, well I could,, but is that the way I would really want to go???
