I converted to a word doc and did a copy/paste to get it on here. I couldn't figure out how to post a .pdf on this page. I hope it is in a readable format. If not, I tried. If you open your email I can send you the origional pdf file. You'd need Adobe Reader to open it.

[jon aller]

Trying to upload an image of the rules. Yes, a tractor age 56-58 would pull in the Open class.

 

[jon aller]

Well that didn't work too good.

The rules are in PDF format at expotp.comoj.com.

You would need Adobe Reader or some other PDF viewer to read them. There are dozens of free viewers out there.

 

[Gary from Muleshoe]

I emailed them to you so you could print them if you wanted.

 

[Anonymous-0]

afraid so, I'd like to see the year limits raised a little in classic.

 

[aaron skogen]

does anyone no do you have to have working govenor or does a cut out box work

 

[jon aller]

You must have a working governor connected to the carburetor. If you want an electronic ignition control as a fail safe that is fine.
