NATPA. ??

[6pack]

Division 3/4 says no Oliver 99 or Massey 1100 style head.... Is there any guys pulling a super 99 six cyl waukesha, only ask because I found a gasser 99 that could be fun to play with in 5500-6500

Can deeres and farmalls still run aftermarket or recast
heads in these classes?
 

[kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

Well of course they can there deeres and farmalls. But dont you dare have a MM or oliver with a factory head on it that is "unoproved"
 

[Ray Tellin]

That's always what I thought was a joke about NATPA rules. You could tell what brand of tractor the rule makers pulled when they formed the NATPA.

A legimate 99 oliver gas is 100% legal in any division, however mixing and matching parts from people such as Ray is not. I didn't know he was such an expert in antique tractor pull rules

I got some pictures of the 99, looks like it has had water sitting in engine, intake has cracks that need to be welded, it would be a sin if the head was beyond repair, would the 195 or Massey 1100 head be considered a replacement, same guy claims he has another complete gasser from a 950 or massey, but wants another $1500 for it,

i am trying to talk wife into going to Princeton IN. With my 88, what is rpm rule for 4 or 5 mph class?
 

[doug boll]

well answers Ray makes a good point like that bogus 4 cyl MM manifold, the IH recast heads and manifolds and the recast jd parts while other colors are stuck with what was original like the lp manifold for a 6cyl. Case that a mouse couldn't crawl through!

When did I claim to be a rules expert?

Anyone have a good answer to why 88's can't the 195 heads?

"Answers" says you can't mix and match parts but a gleaner engine in a WC is ok? Or how about that Deere with the power block?

The rules seem pretty bias don't they?

Take it easy on ray tellin, hes not a bad guy. Im starting to think this is a cage fighting sight not a tractor pulling sight!

your not stuck with a stock manifold. Make a replacement and sell 12 of them that is what NATPA calls a legal replacement. At least thats what they use to require. They also took care of the 99 oliver by limiting the wieght it cant go under 4500#. If you cant beat it outlaw it Go NATPA.

My bad I meant #5500 for the oliver 99
