Tsc power Block, They should have called it the big bore low compresion block then? Excellent attempt at pushing the rules though!! If Deere didnt manufacture the block or head for the modle tractor its bolted to then it isnt as it came from the factory, Thus IT ISNT STOCK! This should include a flat head on a late G!

So your saying something that Deere bolted on itself is not allowed? Guys, look at any pull. Most of the guys pulling are not stock. So if you chase those guys away who is going to pull? Like it not those guys are a huge part in your pull no matter where you are. Lets just say if the rules are stock blocks and head, stock tires, stock weight, etc. then what stops me from sleeveing the block out to 7", port and polish the head, and throwing in a 10" crank? Is it going to get to the point where the people running the pulls are going to start pulling crankcase covers? Thats really going to get people coming to pulls.... How about this, have the rules somewhat open as to mods go but make everyone (that has a pto) dyno their tractor before the pull and place everyone into classes based on that. And for the guys who do not have a pto, they can be placed in the open class and it would keep them from pulling with all of the stock guys. [Reply]  [No Email]
