I have a WD that I am mostly done restoreing. For the past two years I have been going to 5 or 6 pulls a year around here ( Rhode Island) and pulling in the 3500lbs class, stock, with about a 5 ft chain, using the stock drawbar. All I have done is put the tractor toghther and add a little weight to the back to get it to 3500# with me on it, and it has been winning against Farmalls, Olivers, John Deers, and even a few other orange tractors. The engine is completely stock with the exception of the 1/8" overbore kit. I usually pull about 52 to 5500lbs dead weight on a stone boat. Last pull it pulled 6200 to win again. I always liked orange tractors, and this one is no exception. I haven't needed to do anything to it. On the last pull the front wheels are usually just skimming the ground and I have to steer (carefully) with the brakes, the pulls are usually between 50 and 100ft.
