Warmed over 318 with a 4speed OD I do not know what is in the engine but this thing will get it. I bought it from the original owners daughter after he passed away. It also corners like a sports car. He knew what he was doing.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Cal Poly San Luis Obispoo Ag Department has a tractor pulling team. Each year during Open House, the former Poly Royal fiasco, they have a tractor pull event. Ag kids run 2 Allison (I think) powered tractors.

Found 2 trophies late 40s-real early 50s from El Mirage dry lake. Still hunting the timing tags.

Them Dual Allison’s are rare to see much anymore these days. Mainly cause their B29 engines and nobody makes anything for them. Most around here are running Blown Hemis. There’s a few with Jet engines

They've had those Allison powered tractors for 25 yrs that I know of. A few years ago there was a half dozen pulls across the state. I looked earlier this year, all I could find was the Poly Open House event.

Oh yeah. They’ve been around for a LONG time. Just saying there’s less and less of them pulling now.

Yeah I didn’t think so. I switched it and had to put the other in a press, the bushings weren’t in all the way and was keeping it from going in. Fixed nowUhhhh... No.......
Half of one fender fabbed up and other side is ready to mount.
I slotted where i wanted to bend, left a few tabs to keep it square
And welded it up. These should be tough!
