What does it take to make one that will have the power and be at the top of the class with plenty of power. I told him to go with a Farmall M and pull many classes but he already bought it. What hp can you get out of the tractor if the money is available. [Reply]   [No Email]

Tell him to pull it farm stock and look for a better tractor to build up. He may have a chance in 3250#, but at 3500# the farmall h's and allis wc's are gonna kill him. [Reply]  [No Email]

Located in PA C-153 is a good choice, depending on where you live. Dave's in IN and assume looking to run NATPA. Can't run the C-153 if running NATPA "Tractors must have the stock engine, frames, transmission, rear end and axle housings or manufacturer's replacement for make and model of tractor being pulled . Stock heads and their replacements are to remain unchanged in outside appearance" Dave, it's like any other engine, bore it, stroke it, cam, carb, head. You're up there in Gary's territory, he would obviously be a good man to discuss with. E-mail me if you want to discuss other options Ray This post was edited by jd b puller at 13:08:12 12/21/12.

We sent the cylnder head manifold and carbuerator to Gary and he made it a totally different tractor. Ron always wanted to take it to an NATPA pull but got sick and never was able to do so. I agree that the allis and h Farmalls would make it difficult for a Super C to stay with them. [Reply]  [No Email]

Ron took it to his shop and I tore it down and found the problem and had a new sleeve made my Paul Marlett. I didnt even know of Gary Baker at that time. I believe it had 4020 John Deere liners in it. I rebuilt the Block and stuck the head back on it. Eventually I pulled the head and drove it to Garys a year later and he redone the head manifold and built a good carbuerator for it. It was a total different tractor then. Very good running tractor. I miss seeing it pull and going to pulls with my Friend Ron. He was a great guy and would do anything for anybody. [Reply]  [No Email]

Shaggy s Su C has a good Stock C-153 and he was 20 ft Behind. In 3250 div 3! Most warmed over C-153 just Wont cut it at Wauseon in Div 3! You need s built engine like any other Div 3 class! They would be OK at Tallmadge and other sandy tracks! Div 2 or 2T may be a more Competitive class with a 18 inch Drawbar and 3mph that requires Less HP for most C on a budget!
