OK EVERYONE LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!! All 2cycle Detroits have a Supercharger NOT a Turbocharger although some had a Turbo, also in later years when engine builders learned the benefit of the free horsepower that they add.
I am a tractor puller and pull Detroits, I have never been told or have ever been told that people would not come to a pull because there would be Detroits there. We have people that will sit in the Hot sun all day long just to see the Detroits pull at the end of the pull in the heavy classes.
I am not a big fan of Brand X tractor but I will not knock another brand just because of the color of the paint or the sound of the motor.
Here's an idea, if you don't like a certain brand of tractor thats pulling or the noise that it makes maybe that would be a good time to go to the shitter or the consession stand you won't hurt your muffler coddled ears.
If a Detroit is built right and the tractor is set up right it will give any brand a run for it's money. Most people think that Detroits are complicated and hard to work on but they are simple if you know what you are doing they are very easy to work on and are very well built, I have never ever come across a Detroit motor anywhere with a rod through the side of the block.
Lets just remember one thing, we are there to have fun and if you can't let the other guy have fun with his choice of toy maybe you should take up GOLF because the golf karts are either electric or gas motors with MUFFLERS.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
