Tractor Pulling Superstock Modified

I was just wondering. Where does a person get parts for modifing a diesel tractor for pulling? What all do they do to them?

CONTACT TANTRUM ENTERPRISES IN TUSCOLA IL THEY BUILD MOST OF THE JOHN DEERE PULLING TRACTORS IN THE MIDWEST.

If you want to be competitive then you need 50k-150k to be in the running. The super stock class any more is limited o a single turbo and some other things. I got out of it twenty years ago when it became a check book race rather than a skill test. Don't even go and watch them any more.

It used to be fun when you just took a field tractor turned the pump a few turns and loaded the weight to it. Then went out and had fun. I can remember changing the fuel pump and farm tires every Friday afternoon and putting them back on Sunday to use the tractor in the field Monday. Had fun and did not break the bank.

Then the BTO grain guys around here got to spending big money on professionally build motors. They even where taking the expenses off their taxes. A local BTO was taking a brand new IH 1066 to some shop in IN and spending 50K(this was in 1975 dollars). He would take a new tractor out there every year. He was selling the year old one set back to stock to some poor farmer that thought he was getting a good low hour tractor.

Used to be 10-15 of us in just in this area that would pull. I only know of two now. They have outside businesses that are making good money so they can play with the big boys.
