gonzo 1066 600 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just sold my 1066 puller to a fellow in Missouri. Kind of a tough decision, but I need funds to complete the 5088 puller. Bought the 10 in 1996 at a auction, had loads of fun with it. Farmed a bit then pulled quite a bit. It is time to let someone else enjoy it. I have been doing some updating for the new owner. Built a new pull hitch, eliminated 3 pt and hydraulics, next is widen the wheels. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sledgehammer 8,638 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just change the handle to “Gonzo 5088”. Sometimes that is a tough decision but by the looks of your new one you should still get a pretty big smile when it gets finished. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the new one will be a stout pulling one too. Where in Missouri did your 10 go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we can watch it pull in our neck of the woods, if we're ever allowed to gather again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1466fan 1,361 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 They had several down here this year. Didn't get to go to any with work and a house remodel. Had several bigger races at the local racetracks cause they got shut down in the states they usually have them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They got some good pulls up in that area. Haven't been up there for awhile. Guy I work with goes up to Jeff city about every year. Says the best pulls in this part of the country Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All I've ever pulled is my old 14 and it's a pretty good one just on it. Can't imagine one of those hot ones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
red2thebone sr 88 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hey, not too far from me. Hopefully get to see it run this summer. Do you know what association or class they plan to run? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonzo 1066 600 Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Nice butt shot. I know that the rear weight bracket is very high. I built it that way when the 3pt was still in place. I assume that the new owner will lower it some. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
