Used my 1938 F-20 today at the fair in the 4500 pure stock class. Lost miserably. tractor seemed to be running well. started the pull well. No spinning, pulling like a champ. at 130' tractor seemed to lose all its guts, and went another 6' and almost stalled. came in 9th out of 9 at 136.1'

Not touched: carb, valves, rings. Although, I did have the carb adjusted a wee rich, slight black smoke at idle, and cleared up at full throttle.
sounds like I will start with the carb. then move into the more expensive items. Seems like I should have been able to pull a bit more than 136'. In the class, the longest pull was 227' Next closest one to me was 160.2'
It was pretty surprising how quickly the old girl lost her guts.
