Could have . For a few years there we pulled mostly antiques some with my S/MTA and some with a M M U in divison three . That one was one of my crown jewels of engine building . only new parts used were rings bearings and custom made gskt's . Everything else was acquired from dumpster diving or well used used parts or total junk parts . That tractor had four different drivers in four classes and for two years running it was top points in all classes , Built three more dumpster dive engines and all of them were out the gate rides . Plus at times i would drive Donny's 706 , he also farmed with that tractor . Yea the group of us had loads of fun . I started pulling back in 69 with my 450 diesel along with a buddy who also had a 450 D . I could get mine into the 7500 class and my buddy who had a wide ft only get in the 8500 class and we would take them up to 10500 . The EPA would have had Cardact arrest over them as we had the wicks turned way up along with pump work , no we did not go blazzing down the tracks but we would make the end of the track . One of my friend was watchen the pull as i started and about a 1/4 way down the track some guy standing next to him made a comment oh look he is about done look at that OLD 450 starten to smoke and my friend said oh you ain't seen nothing yet he is just starting to pull as the smoke got blacker and the fire started coming out the pipe , weren't no skeeters left in the area when done and at the end of the track . I look back at all the wild and crazy stuff we did back then. we had no fancy truck or trailer to haul them to the pulls we drove them sometimes it was and hour and a half one way . Weights were loaded on a hay wagon and either Mike , myself or the one neighbor would pull the wagon . If the pull was up at Bunker Hill when it was over the whole gang of myself Mike , Ronny , Ernie , Wade would come back into town and hit the local watering hole and close it . Well Lubed Ronny started it with his 504 Diesel if he was not pulling the wagon and do wheel stands . Wade and Ernie had 560 Diesels . Mike and i had 450 Diesels . We all would take off riding the brakes and fill the air on S/ Ellsworth with black smoke laving the watering hole at around 2:30 . We would generate a crowd as Mike and i started our 450's City guys never seen nothing like that before . We would park them on the patio inft of the door . Katy , Jack and George the owners of the bar did not care as they consider us family since were were in there all the time . Heck when George got married we were invited to the wedding . Those days were the best.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
