Start by getting the engine in the best tune it can be. Run a cranking compression test to determine the healthiness of the engine. Compression should be 140-145 psi on a new engine. If 4500 lbs is your goal, you need a narrow front end and all fluid removed from all the tires. I'd probably remove the drawbars Traction Booster spring assembly from underneath and go with a lighter/easily adjusted drawbar. This will require some torch work to keep your brake pedal linkage. Fenders and brackets need to get removed. I have my D-17 antique puller down to 3900 lbs with 14.9 x 38 rear tires.

From what I see at pulls the term "stock" Is a joke. It's just another class the ones that can't compete in real pulling have come up with. like may years ago when a bunch couldn't compete in the SuperStock class they came up with the StockTurbo class. Some places have a "antique" class that means only factory issued components and weights along with a 3MPH limit for show tractors and this helps the guys that are amateur or part time pullers. These classes generally won't allow entries in classes below the tractor's factory shipping weight. This only really works with at least some minimal enforcement, like a compression check to see that engines area reasonably close to factory specifications. Where this has been done I've seen a few feathers ruffled where guys that had a cranking compression of over 200PSI not be allowed in the antique class. Anything else is a contest of what those that can't play with the big boys can get away with.
I could see just having 3 divisions: Antique. Non turbo & Single turbo. Many of the places I go have an "open class" which is basically what the SuperStock class was in the early 70s. Just my point of view.

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 |

You don't think stripping a D17 down below its shipping weight to pull in an "antique" class isn't cheating?

Probably no more cheating than some of the other makes that are swapping to high cube engines in the same classes.
