Fantasy Build

Antique Class (1959 older)

What weight?

Back in august there was a dyno challenge in West End North Carolina. A friend of mine got tired of hearing about the 250 HP farmall M's people thought they had....a few months prior to the august 2nd date set for it, pankey was over on ytmag requesting an engine build off. I made him fully aware that there was a date and a place. I had an engine ready to ship and crated ready should the event happen, my own personal engine. Its one I've got a hundred hours in head, manifolding and carbueration built for Div 4 NATPA pulling.

As it turned out, absolutely no one took Lawrence Wilson up on the opportunity to hook to a dyno. Brian Lively offered to show up and cover the event in the Hook magazine.

The problem with these bs slingers is that you'll never see them show and compete. You'll never see them hook to a sled or dyno for any official documentation.

However, I do go run practically every weekend Aaron, if you wish to check the NTPA website, the WTPA or happen to catch a little pulling on Tuesday nights once in a while on RFD TV, you can find me.

I'd build a U or UC, I don't think it would be easy to hit that weight, but there's a lot of potential in those engines.

LW said he could build a 250 HP m a few years back on yt tractor chad called him out on that . now its funny that LW says there are no 250 HP as chad told him back in the day they wasnt a 250 hp m . its a lot of double talking for sure from Wifi LW and friends

How about a 1000 CI "A" that could run Div 4 or 5

I'd build a styled WC, because that's what I already did for a similar set of rules and I've been very competitive...Every time we leave with this tractor my wife say's , "I hope you don't bring another #*$! trophy home!!"
