Buddy had one of the 273 H/P's and it ran well for all it was. I do know that a 383 set to the little tag on the Rad support was a DOG , but if you sorta shell we say tweaked it just a little and made just a couple of changes to the dist. and tweaked the carb it would come to life . They would not turn the RPM as the 273 because the 273 H/P had a solid lifter cam where the Chicken had a hyd. cam and the lifters would pump up at around 5400-5800 and float the valves. That was done to keep them together . Mine would do a little better then the 5400-5800 because i had a few parts in mine that were shell we say under warranty from the factory by my Parts and service Rep to see how they would work out as he always told me when he brought something new down with him. Just loved the Road Runner . When i left being a wrench i went to become a parts manager in the summer of 1970 and Bob talked me into buying this Sassy Grass green Duster that they had been testing . It was a 1971 340 Duster , yea it was a little quicker then the Road Runner and it would do everything the speedometer said it would do IF you had the nerve to hold it down . It handled well but i just never warmed up to the Duster.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
