Been years since i last pulled , last time was right after i got the old ugly 806 . I had just finished up planting when my one friend called and asked for help with plowing a new farm his son had just taken possession of . So i told him that i would . On a Friday evening around 5 Pm i closed the shop and jumped on the 806 with my plows already hooked For the around 20 mile drive down to his boys new farm . My buddy told me that they would be up at the pull just off the road down to the farm and he would watch for me and come down and pick me up and run me back up to the shop so i could get my truck and go home. As i went by the Strawberry festival there was Donny setting on his 706 and he waves as i go by , so down over the hill and pull into the farm and park the 806 and let it cool down a bit while i WAIT and wait and wait . No Donny HUMM i would like to get home sometime here. Ok i'll drop the plow and run up to the pull and see what is taking so long . So i drive the 806 back up the hill and pull in and there is Donny setting at the end of the track on his 706 so i get off and walk over and he says YEA YEA i am next up on this hook . Ok so i stand there and watch him do his thing and make a full pull and he come back and first thing out of his mouth is ya know when this class is done it's the 13500 class whats the 8-06 weigh ?????? i don't know never weighed it but i do know it is heavy and he says go weigh it hey i did not bring my fast hitch draw bar oh you can use mine .l So we went and weighed it and i was 100 Lbs light told don i was a 100 light and he grabs a 100 and throws it on the deck plate and we pulled in the 13500 class dead weight against over 50 tractors and one by one they started dropping off with each addition of a slab It got down to five left in the class and one slab left at the end of that round it was down to me and Stanly and his 1456 , Stan was one of my customers , they added the last slab and stan and i both made a full pull i did mine on the first hook it took him two . Now what no more slabs to add to the stack and we both made full pulls , they wanted Stan and i to split the wind but the crowd wanted to see who was top dog . What to do what to do and all eyes fell on Mike Coy Mike was a wee bit on the chunky side of around 350 , he climbed up on the stack and stan and i went at it again and once again the 806 made the full pull on the first round and Stan spun out and came back around and tired the other way , Now he might have beat me if he would not have done a wide open side step standing his 1456 up in the air and when it came back down hitting the track it bounced off for ft weights on the track . Now had Don brought more weights with him that evening the out come may have been a lot different . Donny's Dead row 650 dollar 706 narrow ft fast hitch gasser was the winningest tractor anywhere around And this is FACT for i don't know how many years at times i would run it and win the class i pulled in , his boy would win everytime out and don would win . Two years in a row at a local pull about fix six miles north of me DON Mike and myself plum cleaned house from the 8500 up thru the 14500 class with that one 706 gasser . I built that engine and tuned that engine , you could pull that engine down to where you could count the fan balde as they went by then pull the T/A and she would come back to life with a vengeance . Being a narrow ft one may call it cheating but being a narrow ft one could pull to the corner of the track and gain maybe four feet over a wide ft. tractor . .

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
