I pull a big cubed Case 900 1958 model. cut tires the whole ball of wax. I don't think it is old enough for ITPA

Hey Lenny, did you buy a set of 16.9x38 Firestone V-cuts off of a guy over by Peoria IL a couple of years ago. If so send me an email or reply here.

It's definetely not old enough to play with the completely outdated Division II ITPA that's true, it would need to be not only older, but a worn out tractor. Secondly (and wrongly) you're not trying at all if you can't get a Case 900 in the 5500, come on there's at least 4 or 5 that pull in the 5000.

Yes we did we are using them now but if we find a lighter set they will be in loose hands again... I have competed in Div IV before with my Div. II F-30 and made them mad when my 10% over stock RPM tractor was in the top five.. they made me re weigh... thought I was over weight cause this tractor with 15.5's and low RPM built in 1937 could compete with the M's and 88's... Well it does.. Our rules are Stock appearing.. no cube limit and no speed limit.. The 900 will not make 5500lbs because of the stock appearing rule... Our two 700 cube 30's do alright for what they are...

Lenny I was part owner in those tires you bought. Rusty Melhouse owned the other half of them. They were a pretty nice tire if I remember right.

Well since I have pulled against hutson before, I know how strong your f-30's are. He is one heck of an engine builder.

They are still a work in progress... The one has got a few minor bugs that we have to work out yet... We may have gotten a little help along the rode because it messed up sitting in the shed somehow.... The other one we just got the long block back after our Merfeld motor decided to vent the block...
