Well, Got the truck back in puller mode this last weekend, Went and bought about 1500lbs in weights today, and I got 2 hooks this weekend and I'll be driving the truck to both

Heres some pics of what she looks like now.







I'm not looking forward to throwing all these twice a night

 

Chris and I have thrown a lot more than that a lot more than twice in the same day, but they went onto a Farmall 560 that was pushing an extra 100 cubic inches. 8 hooks that one day.

 

Looks good andrew, keep us posted on how you do over the summer. I probably wont pull again til july 9th.

How do you like those sts's? I've seen a lot of pulleys run them and wondered if they are a good street/off road tire as well? I was thinkin about gettin a set when my trail marks wear out even though I've bern happy with them.

 

Will do Austin, I'm sure there will be plenty of video. Yeah I got 2 hooks this weekend then nothing til the 8th then theres a pull every weekend til the middle of August that are local.


On the pulling track I love em, on the street not so much. There noisy, suck in the mud, and don't like wet weather, they are however extremly tough like any Interco tire should be.

 

Well just got home From the Humbolt pull, Drove 80 miles there made 3 hooks and its still in one piece!!! The first hook was 251 and change in the 7500 Mod Diesel, the second hook was a disaster as the FSS wire has somthing up with it I pulled 98 ft when she shut down on me. Anywho I was a little agitated to say the least and wanted a little redemption so we then signed up for the OPEN class, The open class is for anything you want( Hot Farm, FWD Tractors, Semis, Pickups, Bulldozers, ECT), They load the sled real heavy for that one. In the open I pulled 215 and change.

I'll get some video up tomorow night of all of my hooks from this weekend, probly gonna hook 2 or 3 times tomorow too.

 

 

Well we put over 400 miles on this weekend made 6 hooks and nothing broke!!!!!!!!!!

My hooks

 

good lookin hooks andrew! that thing just keeps on pullin like a champ. Sounds awesome too. Looks like the rules are a little different back your way, we can't have any passengers and have to have a helmet and seatbelt.

I think I'll start a 1st gen pulling thread for all of us 1st gen pullers

 

Same out this way, no passengers and have to wear a helmet and a seatbelt. We even have to wear a helmet for regular farm tractor pulls in NJ, ridiculous I say.

 

The Saline Center pull is just a little po dunk pull we go to for a test hook, They cut our hook fees in half but we don't get a payout. Most other places we can't have riders.

 

Austin, Yes I really need to do somthig with some traction aids, not sure what yet but I need to do something. After the light class I added weight and moved some around and got both rears to spin but............

 

good luck pullin and keep us updated ! i hope to try again later this summer .

 

Your truck must love you for that abuse.

 

its a 1st gen, it can handle every bit of it

whats the point of havin horsepower if you can't have fun with it?

 

True enough.
