It's a known fact that at a "stock" antique tractor pull, 80% have at least some kind of engine modifications. Given that fact, then the ease and cost of these mods. will to some extent dictate what brand tractors get the most mods. and thus perform better,all else being equal. There are more Chevys that win drag races! Get the parallel ? The 2 cyl JD's have a one of a kind odd ball firing order and bore and stroke and cam mods are more expensive. Therefore they are harder to tune correctly and more expensive to modify correctly. Bottom line is, the same amount of money spent on mods will go further on the other popular makes. When we figure out a way to prove "stock" compression,bore,stroke and camshaft specs. ,prior to the pulls so that we have truely "STOCK" tractors, then ,and only then, will the common antique tractor enthuesiast get his tractor out of the shop and attend the pulls. I am also confident that you will see the lions share of 4500# and higher tractors placing will be 2cyl JD's. Every one says that if only PURE STOCKERS are allowed at certain pulls, that all the pullers would go elsewhere to pull where there were no rules of "stockness" enforced. Have any of you got any idea just how many "stock" pullers never bring their tractors out that WOULD!, if everybody was pulling PURE STOCK. I for one think there would be plenty,and you will never see them any other way. There are some real simple and low or no cost ways of checking for these mods. We are all missing out on a lot of tractors,a lot of fun and a whole segment of competition that the pulling sport is going to desperately need to prosper in the future. We are eliminating the very core and roots of this hobby if we don't create a fair place for them to pull. Can any sport afford to ignore that many people??
