Two classes were held for antique tract- ors, 25 years or older. A special was an "Out of the Garden" class. Marlen Vin- cent said over 40 tractors entered to a good audience of Seaforth and area people. Those ' who have never attended a tractor pull would be mildly surpriSed ta see the types of "tractors" in action. As an example, Mr. Vincent said the single cylinder open. 1,000 pound dins features "souped -up" garden tract- ors. Boasting original 16 horse- power engines, with modifi- cations and snowmobile car- burators, and one cytinder may have a rating of over 40 horsepower. He said some of the mini tractors even come equipped with Volkswagon clutches. Because they use a "muffler" made out of a straight piece of pipe, the noise is unreal. Over -size tires are also used for added traction. Mr. Vincent said he attends approximately 20 pulls per year. The modified class is a completely different story. Only the rear tires resemble a farm tractor. When asked what the construction of a modified was. Frank Field- ing of Port Perry said "any- thing. just as long as the weight, including driver. is under 1550 pounds." The maximum length al- lowable is eight feet and width, from tire to tire. six feet. Most tractors feature eight cylinder car engines. He said some are taken out of cars with no work done to the motor. Others overhaul en• gincs and add carburators and other power inducing gadgets. Mr. Fielding said one trae- tor entered in the Scaforth pull featured a blown motor Blown does not mean broken down but that air is forced into the engine. In place of the regular carburator. gaso- line is injected into the cylinders. Hailing from Blackstock, 45 miles east of Tomnto, Phil Hoskin,• sas the average horse p0960 rating for a modified is 400 to 500. It is estimated the blown motor driven tractor has an incred • ible rating of 900 horsepov, er. Regular farm tractors do not exceed 25 to 30 miles per hour The mini -eight e7lind• cm. :urn their tires at SO to 90 miles per hour Mr Fielding said ground speed during a poll is approximatelt 15 to 20 miles per hour. "They could go as fast as a car if the tractor could be controlled. ' Transmissions in the minis are either standard or math: Mr Fielding rAplain• cd driN crc using standard gearboxes pull in first gear Red coloured wattcr biankcis are %trapped around automat. Ics in 7,3sc thc transmission flies apart. Mr Fielding said he has neter seen this hp• n Solid steel bell housing Is required for standards he s.aid Tractor pullers L'ome from Al %talks of life. On hand in Seaforth Mere farmers. class " A mechanics and 7170 a elementar7, school princr-ial from Waterloo. When quest6ned about the cash outlat• for a tractor. Mr. Fielding some people hat c 53.000 to $4.000 tied up in a snowmobile "We have tractors". Thc price of a mini can start 35 004 52.000 for a basic model 15 ith no major motor changes. He explained tht tractor pourr• ed with the blown motor is expensive. The motor alone is valued at 58,000. "We don't have that much in a tractor." School principal Ken Root of Waterloo said he enjoys pulling because "I get rid of all my frustrations at once." The following is a list of winners in each division of the pull: Single cylinder stock, open. 1,000 pounds and under: Mike Day, Michigan, first; Marten Vincent, second and Barry Vincent. third. Marten Vincent placed first in the single cylinder stock, 1200 pound class with Mike Day placing second and Barry Vincent, third. A puller from Fisherville, Nina Nagel, won first in the single cylinder stock, 1,000 pound class. Second was Bill, McBride, Hagersville, and Dennis Tryon, Ayr placed third. In the same category, but 1200 pound class, Bill McBride won first; Nina Nagel. second and Rov-Smel- ser of Hagersville, third. The "blown" tractor driv- en .by Bruce Heintz of Ayr placed first in. the modified 1,550 pound class. Second was -1::ton Smale of MolsItiy and John Rutherford, 'Cam- bridge. third. The modified 1.750 pound class was won by Don Smale with second going to Jim McNeilly of Cambridge and Bruce Heintz placing third. Pulling with a Cockshutt 80, Ron Driscoll of Seaforth won first in the Antique 5,000 pound division. Second was Lorne Glanville and his 1936 • John Deere on steel and Gordon Mitchell, Brussels third with his ,1953 John Deere "AR".
