 Topic: CA at Mile Branch Grange
Posted: 06 Oct 2020 at 7:26am |
 . Another great year for my Paul Barnsley built CA. We were so fortunate that our local track Mile Branch Grange , Sebring OH canceled only 2 pulls because of Covid , started back up in May and ran the rest of the season. We were pleasantly invaded by pullers from other states and local folks we had never seen. Biggest night was 363 hooks. I was never beat in 2750 or 3000. I’m very competitive in the 3250, probably won the track championship. There’s a WC that beats me now and then and it’s so fun to beat Farmal H’s and 230. Barnsley is the wizard of H.P. in the world of CA’s!

They are 14.9X24 old style 45 degree tires that were road worn and I trimmed up the tops a bit. They are a great match for the power that tractor has in 2nd gear for the light class.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I had thought about using 26's from a D15 but they are a wee bit expensive

Its a Div 4 or Class B at the tracks she pulls. Meets every rule stipulation of those particular class’s.

Jack did Paul build you an engine? I am going to put a series II D15 engine in a CA to pull. Do you know what kind of power you make?

A G-160 engine in fine tune, placed in a D-15 series 2 will make 46 HP at the PTO @ 2,000 RPM. Install that engine (as-is) in a B-C-CA chassis and I'd expect it to make at least 50 HP because you don't have a hydraulic pump or power steering pump to operate. A slightly higher octane fuel and advance the ignition timing no more than 5 degrees MIGHT pick you up a couple more HP. More RPM's would work good with this change as well. A larger carb venturi or even a larger carb will help add to the performance in the higher RPM range, and more compression like LPG pistons at 9.35 to 1 keeps adding power.

This engine with have a 175 venturi. Higher compression would be nice. Is there anyway to achieve this other than LP pistons/custom pistons?

Or longer connecting rods or pull the sleeves and deck the block a bunch and recut counterbores for the sleeves. It all costs $$$$$$$
