The tractor vet 06-30-2011 20:40:23 99.167.210.166 Report to Moderator	Well sofar myself i have not seen anybody around here getting much over 17 with a 3500 with a aluim flat with 3.54 gears and a 6 speed and as for towing i know for a fact that as set from the factory STOCK the old 460 would plum EAT a cumming alive . As back in 96 we went to a tractor pull down south of here and i had the Minni Mo U loaded to 75-7600 and my S/Mta loaded to 9000 the old Ford weighted in at 7500 lbs and my Blair goose neck weights in with all chains and binder at 7500 , THat is around 31000 the pull in Carrollton was a morning pull and then the one in Lisbon was and evening pull . The U pulled in four classes and the S/Mta pulled in three loaded up and set sail for Lisbon this is HILL country . One guy from Pa beat me out the gate with his New Dodge Cummings one ton 4X4 with one Farmall M on the deck i passed him on the long hill . [Reply]   [No Email]

I will go head to head with you and you will stop for fuel more than I will. The newer cummins dont get the fuel mileage of the old ones.At 400 hp a Cummins will still last to over 600k.I have seen that done with my own eyes. There is a reason that there are way more cummins out there than 460s.But hey if you like your old truck, more power to ya. [Reply]  [No Email]
