WOW! Thanks for sharing these pics, brings back many good memories. Myself, brother and a couple friends used to help Paul and Ivan Barnsley in the mid to late 70's with their modified tractors every chance we could get. Went to pulls all over MD, the Buck, Fishersville, VA....those we great times.
Those were the best of times as a kid, because the tractors were what all us farm kids were running! Many times i pulled the three point while chisle plowing just to get the old 4020 to raise up like i was at "The Buck"!! LOL! Good memories! Thanks for showing the pics
@@glennspreeman1634 they were interested, fun fact, the jd 466 was designed and made after a deere dealer in Sydenstricker iowa bored out a 404 and ran a triple turbo setup for years, deere caught wind of the situation and the rest was history, machinery pete has a amazing video on the whole story
I believe it was a stroked 404. Whatever it was John Deere engineers wound up using it. Sidenstryker (I know the spelling is wrong) Implement had a mechanic named Van Botkins who did the engine and drove rhe tractor.
Bill. You and I could talk for hours about those pictures. One thing that struck me was the DC model Case. I overhauled one for one of my customers back in the day. If my memory serves me it had babbit bearings in it.
pictures are worth a thousand words!! where is pattons pleasure now ? "i got that sled" .. "i got that tractor"..22 minutes seemed like 2 minutes. good show bill! i gave it 6 thumbs up just so u know.
Any pics of John Shaul's tractors??. From my home state of New York -( Fultonham)... How about Smokin Joe Teelak from Western NY or Gary Weingates from Richfield Springs NY of Red Baron fame??
Recognized some of those tractors would come up into Pa. to pull.....was Forester Ford around in those days he could really build Fords to pull think their shop south of Harrisburg....Richard Lustic was big into Deeres from near us they still pull nationally, Jody Ross in our county was big into Internationals they still pull Nationally (Newer McCormicks now Guess everywhere you went were good pulling tractors in the days....today not many into it pulls have become real skimpy around here.
Thanks for sharing the good ole days, I've got quite a few pictures here somewhere of the 80's in the U.K with mostly pro stocks and a few modifieds. quite a few of those tractors are still around over there with many different owners over the years. Those old farm tractor classics like the 4000 Deeres and newer the IH's and several other makes still look good today with the safety cage and other improvements. To be honest the new gen tractors that are all huge plastic body panels big grill lights and wheels I have no interest in other than the tuning skills. They just look awful just like the stock ones do on dealer lots. It's kinda odd to me there wasn't any classic Masseys like 1100 up or Ford 8/9000 style tractors around then, when did guys decide to start pulling them more ?

I love seeing these old pictures. My family pulled some of those John Deeres
Awesome memories from when pulling tractors were built instead of bought
Great video and great memories!!! Those were good times back then 👍. God bless and catch you on tractor church 🙏🙏
Alot of these tractors were crude looking machines, but the engineering was awesome.
Ever wonder what the engineers thought??
@@glennspreeman1634 I bet they thought this is a crude machine.😉

Hey Lawrence! Or do you go by Larry? Nope, didn't have a clue there was an earthquake.
Neat.
