These tractors were the inspiration for lots of people to build their own. This is what we refer to as " Hot Farm " up here. Very cool tractors

That was AWESOME Bill, I don’t know you Dad was puller too, that was way too cool thanks for sharing God Bless

OMG. That young man made someone very proud with that pull! Great way to bring up a youngun!

A good way to start the morning tractor pulling thanks for the video 👍

That was some great old time tractor pulling!! I wouldn’t want to be the guy on that sled in the last clip. Looked dangerous!! Lol

thats a new meaning 2 antique tractor pulls they have hopped those tractors up 😊😊 thats the 1ST time I seen a john deere W a turbo I did see a john deere A W a holley 4 barrel carb 1 time I havent seen 1 since then years ago OMG 9 2 2O23

Good stuff, thanks for putting it up

Thanks for sharing the video. I used to pull antique ones but never modified like these. Pulled an M and SMTA Farmall and a 720 diesel.

One of my friends who just passed had a D17 gas he put a Holley carburetor and a turbocharger he pulled on Labor Day weekend back in the 1970's in Oakwood, Ohio. Henry Dobbelaere blew it up on Saturday and had it back running for the Monday pull! He also farmed with it, and kept several Gleaner E motors handy! I have had several pretty good tractors but nothing like these! 600ci John Deere 70, 447 ci G Moline and a 460 with 398ci. Nothing like these!

Thanks for the pulls

Really cool pulls!

Thanks Bill!

Thanks Bill !!

I wonder what the reaction of the engineers that design these old tractors to what we can get out of them with a little re-engineering

I was at a local pull farm tractors only. A m m tractor was hooked to the sled. It moved the sled 10 to 20 ft a loud bang. The tractor stopped.

Man, those old JD twin cyl. diesels are nuts! I don't know how many rpm's they're turning, but it has to be at least 3 times the recommended rpm for an R or an 830.. and turbocharged to boot?!! How do they even keep them together?😱

Great vid.

Bill on a red tractor can't believe it 😮

What your favorite tractor u like pulling with

Y’all still making the steel frames for 70’s? There’s a couple yall made local to me in Missouri and now I’m wanting one

Bill dont care about the color. He just wants to go fast and drag heavy stuff.

I gotta tell ya Bill, I enjoyed the heck out of that! “Hazardous Material” was quite the machine! How fast were you revving the Ol Gal? I read in an article one time that the 2 cylinder Deere’s didn’t work at all well with a turbo... Guess’n the author never met Wild Bill Grimes!😉 Great vintage footage, thanks for sharing! Bless’ns to ya, Tedd

That was a great video. I loved seeing the different combinations being tested. How many rpm were you running the two cylinders? They were SCREAMING!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

awesome!

That john Deere 70 was my dad's years ago before it was turned into a pulling tractor

Great video. Sure is neat watching those turbo tractors. Was that a Massey Harris flat head with a turbo near the end?

Good pulls, Bill. That old MM with everything sitting on top of the hood at about the 22:00 sure was cool and it made a great pull too. It looked like something in a dystopian future after the collapse of society though but that added to the cool factor of it. LOL

Once was enough. Lol

Sorry you had to drive that barnyard Ferrari. Hope you had gloves on.

Thanks Bill!
