Haha I have a magic wand!! 
Go to the video and below it there is a button for share. Click it and the url for the video appears in a box. Right click on it and hit copy. Now on your post here, up at the top there is an Icon for video, click on it and a box appears. You tube is the default selection so leave it be then below that you see You tube file name. Put the curser there and paste the address you copied from the Video but there is one trick. Somewhere about the middle of that address there is a / and you need to eliminate everything to the left of the / including the /. Then hit Preview and it should appear like mine if everything goes well.
By the way the hook looked pretty good, that looked like a tough track to hook that kind of power.

Yep the clay was wet - but not slippery after the first 30 or so feet. Hard to say with all the new things done to it and that being the first run on the new stuff. Judging by the gear he was in and the amount of weights on the front we think it was a track was better than average.

Dang! that was a bit of a hairy ride! I thought for sure the sled was going to try to jack-knife it. Thanks for sharing! Ed.

Not the nicest run for sure, but learned what we needed to for now. Which is, that it spooled up and went down the track.

He runs with the East Central Iowa Group. The engine seems to be stronger than last year. The question is will it be strong enough to compete with the rest of the tractors in the class. Very tough group of tractors to run against. All ducks must be in same row.

Lookin good Mike.
I just put some extra "love" in a set of yellow heads for that class. If I wasn't so far in on the light super here I'd be running a LLSS myself.

Wi50,
The ECI group is having a couple of pulls in northern Iowa according to the schedule. I'm not sure how much contact you have with Steven Spielberg's boy, and it might be too far to travel, but if he's interested in a 6700 LLSS class he could call the powers to be at the ECI and see if he could hook possibly. The rules are currently no booze burners - diesel only - that's why he should call someone in charge. Might work, might not - dunno.

By the way, I did very little work on this myself this year as usual. Almost all of it was done by a well know poster on this forum.

Loved it. McKim's tractor is my favorite to watch at Twin States
pulls. Hoping to make an ECI pull. For some reason SE Iowa is a dead
zone for pulling.

I know those boys like to go to Kentucky for the LLSS class Mike, but who knows, I talk to them about once a week or so.
I hope to be in New Hampton Ia for an NTPA hook with the LSS. We'll see, it's only made 2 passes so far, both times it made it down the track and drove off. A little tuneing in between and saturday night weather permitting I hope to run it again and get some pressure readings between turbo stages and see if some housing changes need to be made or if it's all in the fuel settings.

Wi50 - Don't come to Temple Hill, Ky this year and not announce it! I'd like to meet you boys.
I'd also really like to see that yeller feller run his rig. Moline is my #2 favorite.
Mike - Dang sweet 180! Videos like that make me think very expensive thoughts.

There isn't much a WC can't do.
WD's just do it better.

The videos are like an addictive narcotic for me so be careful. I would like to give a shout out to the guy who tapes these. For those of you wondering how to get good footage at a tractor pull do it like he does and stand about where they end up - not where they start from or in the middle of the track. Too many times I see on You Tube where the person with the camera stands at the 100 ft. mark or at the starting line. All you see is smoke, dust and the ass end of the sled. Hard to learn anything from that angle.

Looks good! Nice job driving to. When she runs all you can hear is the air flowing though her, love that sound! Keep the orange on the track! Everyone except the competition like to see them.

Ditto on announcing coming to ky. If you make it to the Western Ky fair in Hopkinsville or the NFMS pull in Louisville, let me know. I'm in Hoptown and I go to Louisville every year.
