We have always kicked around that idea to do some pulling with. Do you have any pictures of the pullers you had? We pulled a couple of 6000's one of them we put the 363 dorsett motor in.

It is a good thing they called it that back then cause they sure wouldn't live long out in a field! Also had a 960 that grandad used to pick corn with that I started out pulling at 10. By fourteen I drove one of the bigger two, and the more iron we hung the better we did. By 16 my little brother was pullin the 9000 and I had the 5000 all to myself. My senior year we were at a pull and an old boy from Missouri talked my dad into sellin, he made him a package deal everything but the semi tractor. But it was like sellin a classic car, later on you're kickin yourself. Wish dad knew the guys name to see how he did with them, we sure have a collection of trophies at the shop. [Reply]  [No Email]
