Corn Festival 2006

New Hobby


I thought I would just pull her once to see what she'd do, and then just take her to shows.  One pull and I was hooked!!



7/19/06  First pull ever at the Warren County Fair in Lebanon, OH.  I pulled 190'2" which was good for 6th place.  The next closest was 17 feet ahead of me.  I began to lose power at the 100' mark and blew smoke for the next 90'.  Ran out of traction before I ran out of power.

8/19/2006 Ohio Antique Machinery Show in Georgetown, OH.  This was just a fun pull.  There were 10 tractors in my class.  I was number 6 and the first to pull over half way.  Actually I made it to 10 feet shy of the full pull mark.  Only 2 tractors did better than me, and they got full pulls, so basically I got third. (I cleaned the carb, new carb gaskets and new plugs before this pull; plus I took the oil out of the air cleaner cup).  Tires were aired down to 8psi.   Still ran out of traction.

9/8/06  Clinton County Corn Festival Wilmington, OH Filled her full of premium and put in hotter spark plugs. Went to register and found out that I'd be pulling in the 3 plow new 7000# class. I wasn't happy since I was 1200# light. I ended up pulling 72' 4".
