Nice image. Including a mother and baby got ‘scale & human interest was a nice touch.

I had no idea that tractor pulls were still in existence.

Brings back swell memories of the Denver, Indiana ( where I grew up ), Fall Festival.
They had both horse & tractor pull competitions.

Very nice capture of the JDs and the colorful boots.

Just looking at the exhaust stack and fuel tank, I would guess there is something other than the stock engine in that rig.

Thanks, and I think so.

Thanks, Charley. I haven't been to one lately, but they are a lot of fun to watch.

My son in-law is building an IHC 806 I believe he got it running last week and found he needs a much stronger multi disk clutch to be able to start of in high gear , something I didn't know they did.

My father-in-law was a mechanic at an IH dealer. He loved the local tractor pulls because he knew whenever there was one locally, he'd have clutch work to do the next week.
