    Pto or belt sheller popcorn

    The popcorn company we grew ear corn for used a Montgomery Ward's sheller.He said it was the only sheller he could find that didn't dent the kernel which causes it to not pop.He did put a heavier shaft and bearings on the cylinder.He 4000+ acres a year thru it and pulled it with a 200 farmall.

    300 utility tractors

    Well yes and no.On the 300U you had to use a toplink for the fast hitch plow.So in a sense made it a 3 point hitch.

    Allis truck engine

    Biggest problem was nobody understood how to run them.They would shift down at too high rpm for that engine then they would guzzle oil and were dogs.Pull it down to 1000 rpm and it would flat come to life and pull like a scalded dog.Kenworth ended up bringing most of them back in and put...

    If you have the N/A classes that Jon F mentioned that would help even things up a good bit.You could then just pull the turbo off and run as both the Na and turbo 354 are 13:1 compression.As to other things to do what will help the most is a.1006 Perkins head.It is a cross flow head that will...

    You won't be able to run with 1066's at 10-12000 lbs with a 354.They will be running DT466's with big pumps and big chargers.I have a 1650 with a 354 12 mm Ppump,S 300 charger,1006 head and lots of other work that will run.road gear at 5500-6000 lbs.Wouldn't dream of running heavier than that.

    SMTA vs M lengths

    My dad always said that a TA was 4" longer than a straight M.Seems like that had to be taken into consideration when mounting a picker.

    $24,750

    104"cab,looks to be around 250" wheelbase,3406 very desirable truck.Cabovers are coming back thus prices are coming up.And no you do not have to pull the head every 100,000,more like closer to a million when doing a rebuild.Unless you got it hot and cracked it.That's what I have seen in the last...
