Amen Detroit Frank!!I cant beleive someone wants a tractor pull with no noise.I'm glad someone around here knows Detroits as they are a very misunderstood engine.They were one tough little motor.Name any other 212 cube engine that would pull a 6x16 plow and this comes from a IH man with two 1206's.

I have pulled a 15,000 lb 1966 Oliver 1950 many times back in the 1970's.Half the crowd said they came to hear that screamin little 4-53 Detroit.They stayed to the end to hear it and loved it when I got in a pulloff.It had bigger injectors and turned 3300 rpms.I have recently had a picture of the 1950 on the internet with a picture of it winning the 15,000 lb class at the 1970 Ozark Empire Fair in Springfield,MO.We drove it down 100 miles with the muffler on and back home with the straight pipe on.You could hear it for 10-12 miles that night.

Those were the fun days of pulling.
