I bought a 3588 and IH 720 6/18 plow. neighbor had a 4840 JD with 6/18 plow he needed some help getting his corn fields plowed. I had the 3588 turned up to 175 hp, to make the story short he could't keep up with the 3588 and when we stopped for dinner, he asked me why I told him traction was his problem. He traded his 1 year old tractor for a 4840 with FWA. both tractors ran together around 5 mph. He also bought a IH 720 6/18 plow. There were a lot of IH 720 plows pushing JD tractors in the corn belt

I agree put a TA back in

DT 466

Across state lines is tricky

One problem is with the drought in the corn belt , the beans looked like BB's

Denny's carb was a joke, biggest con man in the business,

Ther are M blocks over 500 CI now tractor pulling .The old MW kit was 326 cubes with all the goodies ran around 75 to 80 HP.

Big difference between M and SM in HP.. get the sleeve kit its a 4 1/8 bore for a SM MW or fire crater pistons, 60 HP is easy

5288 or 5488 can run 240 hp , has sts tranny 18 speeds forward 6 R

Its hard to get parts for antique cars and what looks like junk to you can bring big money to finish a project. The 56 Buick Super and 51 Pontiac has promise but it has a bid at 10,000, it is restored but I would ask if it is a running car and see it in person.

Anyone going to the Southern Nationals antique tractor pull at Tunica MS

I have a around 300 from the mid to late 1950's. but there not for sale

Had 3 different 1066, ran them at 160 hp, never had any rear-end problems pulling 5-18 720 Ih plow, 24 ft, disk and 24 ft field cultivator, 9 shank v ripper

Machinery Pete was at the sale, sorry typo error

I got out of farming this year , had a Merit acution in Jan. Machinery was at the sale. here are a few of the tractor prices. IH 5088 24,250 , CIH 8940 , 89,000, IH 1086,18,250. IH 3588 2+2 20,750, IH 856 5,000 IH 786 21,000. IH 400 2,500 IH Farmall SH 2,200

Neat pictures

pertronix electronic ignition and flame thrower coil with internal resister. 40,000 volt 1.5 ohm. I used that set up om my pulling tractors for years. I then switched over all my gas farm tractors, and the all start run better and you never have to change points condenser.

Bingo we have a winner, the 856 with the 407 was a beast untill the 400 series came out 414, 436 and 466

I never saw a 400 without a live PTO either. something fishy going on here.

they will work on 2188 to 2588, 6088 is different setup.

I allways use a cordless leafblower to blow all dust off combine every morning before I cut a crop, and most farmers around here say don't call the fire department till the combine can't be saved because insurance companies will screw you every time.

11 to 14 mpg

I agree my 8.1 had a allison tranny got the same mph as a 6.0. Pulling a gooseneck with 2 pulling tractors it used more gas than a Diesel but cost per mile was close because diesel was higher than gas

I had a 1970 GTO RAM AIR 3 traded for a GrandAM, big mistake. After a 10 year search I finally found a 1961 Pontiac Catalina bubble top,95 thousand miles and all oringinal, it was a OLK , car very little rust.
