Northern Indiana, bout 100 miles southeast of Chicago,Ill. From what Ive heard, Antique pulling is growing in Canada like wildfire. Id imagine that 2wd truck is a fun ride! Was thinking of building a truck, but, the tractors keep me busy enough these days. Went and got 4 427 tall block chevy engines from a county highway dept auction, just never did anything with em. Sometimes, its nice to slow down with an antique tractor when pulling comes to mind. Have talked with alot of drag racers that have swapped over, and they say, where has this been all this time! Ya know? But the roar of a big V8 is a song that is never forgotten either,,, can ring your ears for days!! We have been running antiques for,,, well, Dad started pulling back in the late 60's, I took up pulling in 1990 with a Farmall Super H, (which I still have and pull) ran stroker H's for years, still do, been getting out of the modified classes lately, been having alot of fun with my JD green Farmall M. Dared to be different, and it gets alot of looks at the pulls, but, they aint seeing things,, its really green!!! HAHAHA!! Really on engines and types of engines in pulling is if it will do what you intend on, thoudands of opinions on what the magic HP number is to win, but, a good puller does with what he or she has to work with, tractor wise or finacial. I know I got crazy with a Farmall H years back, over 10 years, probably have 20 thousand dollars in it,,, but it sure did run good! My M, if I got $1500 in the whole tractor, and have just as much or if not, more fun than I have ever had! And thats what its all about, having fun, see who can out pull who, or in our case, the highest percentage wins. email is ChadS3@hotmail.com feel free to contact me anytime. ChadS
