Hello,My eight year old son and 16 year old daughter just bought a 1940 Farmall A in pretty good shape (though not repainted ever). They both want to pull eventually. My son is already getting a lot of seat time around the property. My daughter will have a chance to pull this year at a local fair in the Powder Puff division for tractors 1940 and older. That is assuming she logs enough seat time to prove she can handle the tractor well. This tractor has unloaded 9.5-24 tires on 8" rims and no weights. The pull is a percentage pull. I do not pull, so I am wondering what I should do to make sure it is firstly a safe event. After that, what can I do without sinking a lot of cash in to help the performance. We don't really care about how she finishes, but it is always good to give it your best. Should I try to add some weight, or does it matter in a percentage pull (I have never pulled either)? I think the drawbar is 14 1/2" and can go up or down slightly. Should I bother. They allow up to 18" but again I care a lot more about safety that performance. Anything else I should do to improve safety, even at the risk of looking wimpy? Thanks, Tony
