You never answered the question. ARE Heisler heads and power blocks legal on JD's in Div II?

Why are the John Deere guys so quick to change the subject when that question is asked?

Inquiring minds want to know

My opinion means little as I'm not an official, but my opinion is that Heisler heads and powerblocks should NOT be legal in Div II. That probably shocks you since I'm an evil Deere fan, huh? The rules are pretty clear that those parts must be stock by part number, and those parts do not carry a JD part number, do they? Seems pretty cut and dried to me. A lot of guys probably believe they should be legal since they were common modifications to WORKING tractors back in the day, just like the M&W kits and high-altitude/LP pistons and heads were to other tractors, and that point probably has merit as well. Some tractors have the advantage of having aftermarket high-performance parts that are completely concealed inside the factory block. Wouldn't you agree that since that is the case, that the non-JD pullers have an advantage in that category? Obviously the Deeres can be bored and stroked, but they're still RPM-limited and harder and more expensive to build than other tractors. That doesn't seem to be much of an issue for most Deere pullers, though, as a quick check of NATPA points shows a slew of Deeres. Like I said, in a 3 mph class, maximum horsepower isn't always going to win. In my opinion, If you're going to mandate stock external parts, you may as well mandate stock internal parts as well. As most drag-racing and stock-car racing enthusiasts are well aware, there are ways to determine displacement without disassembling the engine. My intention wasn't to dodge the question in the first place since you're so concerned about it.
