Bob and I both hope he has many for seasons.  He has taught me a lot about pulling.  Great friend.

The 1206 will still be running. I will help Bob out as much as possible.  It was time for me to get my own tractor as this maybe Bob's last year of pulling

Block stripped.  Sleeves out for fire ring.  Tomorrow I will finish clean out side of block and prime.  Should be ready to put engine in tractor by middle of March.

466 pro farm.  It is a very strong and reliable 466.  My engine will be similar to it.

Best 13 second ride with you clothes on.

It was.  First place in 9000 open against an couple jet power tractors and Allison one.  Not too bad for pro farm tractor. thanks

Pulling would be the only thing that the tractor could be used for in current state.  I guess if you put stock motor in it you could drive it for tractor rides.  Just a toy for an old man.  I will warn you that if you ever drive a high horse power puller the bug can bit you hard.  I have drag raced and ride fast HD but the excitement of hear the RPMS come up and feel the old girl want to go is exciting.  A wise old man once said it is the best 13 second ride you have with your clothes on.  Think Spring.

The gentleman I bought the chassis off of, is building a component  chassis and keep his motor.  Most of the motor will be used with modification.  Different crank to make it a 414 to fit class requirements.  To quote Edson it should be a nice hot rod.  Hope to make the Corcoran Lions pull for first run.
