Big cube 226 engine

Anyone out there have a drop in ready to go engine for a w series puller?

can build you one 507-766-0551

Turbocharging not a generally accepted thing in antique tractor pulling, so more cubic inches is the way it's done.

Well, every part of the country has different ways they do things. I've seen videos of your turbocharged C or CA and honestly where I live and compete in pulling, there would be places that would tell you to not bother to unload it off your trailer, for insurance reasons. Other places might let you show it off, but not compete.  If you enjoy kicking the snot out of 3 or 4 other lesser tractors because yours has a turbocharger on it and theirs doesn't, how nice for you. There are dozens and dozens of antique pulling organizations around our great country and I don't know of any who have a turbocharged 2,500 or 3,000 lb farm tractor class. I guess I'd prefer to compete against a dozen other pullers in a class and hope to do well, knowing we are all within a certain rules restraint, than pull for show and beat no one. You are certainly entitled to play however you want and with whoever you want, but around here there's no one else set-up like you are. I was at a club pull yesterday and we had 117 hooks for the day, which is pretty average.

Where are you located? We are in MN

i agree with everyone here on this but looking at diferant clubs rules on the internet i think they all need to be amended to allow allis go up in yaers to  when the d19 starts so they can run the 6 cylinder gasser in the d19 or at least a series one d17  to run with all the super 88s and 460s  to get a little more brand , color representation 

You can build as many or more cubic inches into a G-226/D-17 gas engine than you can a D-19/G-262 engine. It takes a 301 engine to be able to make the cubes it takes to compete with a 500 plus cube Oliver or Farmall 460/560.

It would be nice for more color, yes I agree. There have been rules tried that say "factory turbochargers only" used for a County Fair for example. Well, then you have D-19's,  190 XT's and 200's running against 4010/20 Deere's without turbos.  That doesn't go over well for a great deal of Deere owners, as they get their tails kicked.

The difference here, is wether someone has anything more important in their life than spending cubic money and all hours to hold a trophy.  Ultimately, it doesn't matter what you start with, or what you build... the winner is the person who has the greatest volume of money to drop.
