Rich, thanks, and I agree. Yup, didn't spin a tire once. I have about 25% tread left, so actually, the tires are about right for pulling. the tractor tipped the scales at 4190 lbs. Has 11.6 x 36 cutoffs on it.
It was pretty interesting. I was pulling, and the engine sounded good. The front didn't even lift (well, except at the very beginning when I got a little excited and let the clutch out too fast.....rode the wheely for about 5')
When the old girl decided she had had enough it was relatively quick. She held her rpm's until the last 6' - 10' feet, then the rpm's dropped like a rock, and darn near stalled. during the whole pull, it never missed or popped. Like I said, she actually sounded real good through most of the pull.
I like the compression check idea. I have a feeling that this old girl has never been rebuilt, and that would explain the loss of power when the going got tough.
I do have to admit, for the first 100', I was grinning like a kid, and thining that the "full pull" board didn't look all that far away....... LOL! :oops:
