Thanks for thr backup. One thing I can't understand through this whole thread is that so many different variables get tossed out and in a case like this is it straight math. If the engine was turning at 6000 it makes no difference about wind resistance, or anything else as the each RPM was being transmitted through to the ground. The only time wind resistance, etc could be considered vs engine speed would be if the clutch disc were to start slipping or the tires weren't getting traction. Unlike where you can set still and burn the rear tires and be going 60 MPH on the speedo and not be moving, when you are in fact moving and the RPM's are being transmitted to the ground then you are, in fact going at said speed. If there was too much wind resistance, etc to get to that speed then the engine would stall out and die. In this case Mike got my curiousity up over a story I've told for nearly 20 years so I did the calculations to make sure it was not just some tall tale. Granted I was a little off on where the speedo pegged but I know what gear ratios were involved and did a direct circumference measure off of the tire and the numbers backed me up. Whether anyone believes it or not I don't really care because I can assure everyone that the feat will not be duplicated by me anytime soon as I got older and smarter than I was way back then.........

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
