I pull and have for several years. My dad and I had a large collection of John Deere's that just set in the barn collecting dust. We took a couple of junk tractors, did some work to them and went pulling. We have had a lot more fun adn enjoyed the tractors much more.
I don't really see why people would be upset about taking a common tractor and hot rodding it. After all it is better than it going to scrap, and its better than it just sitting there. I mean most of the pullers are Jd A's and G's, Farmall H's and M's, there were thousands of these made, its not hurting anything. If anyhting it makes the stock ones more rare and drives the price up.
Pulling is not a cheap sport and it is a money pit, but it is a lot of fun building and competing in. It is much more fun to me to have a heavily modified tractor that makes twice, three, or more times its factory horsepower. To do that with these tractors says something about the quality of design and build. They will live long at 3 times or more the horsepower. I have never broken anything in the transmission personally. I have seen it happen, but not all that often.
Leave us pullers alone, we are doing our part to preserve history. If you have never competed in a pull, try it, you may find it to be fun. I sure did!

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
