 Topic: 7060 Hot Farm
Posted: 29 Mar 2016 at 10:58am |
Just wanted to share a few pictures of my tractor on here. We run in a 540 class with a 3x3,5 charger limit. Open rpm. Got it done 2/3's of the way through the season last year so paint wasn't too important at that point haha.  Kept tuning and had it running fairly good so it was time to make it look good as well. This was right after getting the metal put back on.  Wanted to take it to Gordyville but just couldn't get everything going in time so the first hook for us was the DeKalb Super Pull here in my hometown of Eaton, Ohio first weekend of March. In the building.   This last picture means a lot to me. The pull is 2 days. I pulled the 2nd day(Saturday). My grandpa who taught me everything I know about pulling and mechanics, who was right there with me the whole way through building this tractor passed away Friday night. He never got to see the tractor run after the paint and decals put on it. I was determined to make a pass as I know that's what he would have wanted. Emotions got the best of me and it wasn't the best pass I've ever made, but I made it. This was as they were taking me out after the hook and the crowd was all on their feet. That run was for him.  Just thought I would share a few pictures of my puller with you all.

Great looking tractor! Sorry to hear about your grandfather's passing. I'm sure he had a huge smile on his facing watching you pull!

Very sorry for your loss. You will never forget him and he will always be with you. I know your pain. Fortunately my dad got to see me pull my D21 when he was ill, after I did some work to it. He complained about the money I spent on it. He saw it pull, looked at me and said 'best money ever spent'. I went on to win my club championship that fall, he saw the trophy, and passed away four days later.

It's a d21 rear end/trans. Much easier and lighter than the 7060. Only a handful of guys have spent the time and money to put a regular clutch in one.

Sorry for your loss, keep on pulling in his memory. Sharp tractor, I prefer the looks of cab less 7000 over D21.

Ithe lights up my father's day when talk about pulling.He was a second generation Farmer born in 42..He came up driving all the what we call antiques today. He always says I'm messing up good equipment even though he knows they'll never be in the field again. I love hearing&reading great stories. Best of luck to ya this season , Matt
