Was really dreading do all of this but it was actually really easy and fast.

My god!! I saw those tractors at tarrant county indoor pulling shows in the late 70s as a kid!!! Wow I really want to thank you for doing this!!the memories of those tractor pulls have fueled my love for all things fast and loud.. if you have never been to an indoor pulling event, it’s something you never forget. Again thank you so much for taking the time to find and talk to the hero’s of my past

It was at the Kentucky motorsports museum when the museum was in Owensboro

Doc Riley?

Your not supposed to use them with a drill you use a torque wrench but great job on the video though

awesome video than you so much for seeking out Mr Banter and letting all of us old timer pulling fans see a true legend ! i hope you do another one with more icons of the sport , maybe Conner Bros the ones who perfected the alcohol super stock Thanks again !

Thank you for putting this interview together. My dad always talked about these guys and we got the chance to pull with Ira in the Indiana tuggers for years. Dad would have loved to watch this!

i want this model kit so bad ❤

Back in the day every pull was a full pull back in the 70s

Late 80s 5pm weekdays Redman TNT pulling series. Good clean family entertainment I vhs taped them all

Great video!! Was a young boy when banters were in there prime. Sad to lose Ralph. But great interview with Dave

think sometime I heard about a SECRET tire cutting machine LOVE to see pic in part 2

Ira was just in my shop and I couldn't help but ask if he was a actual Banter brother and I'll be dammed he was 😂 many memories of my micro machines and truck and tractor power ❤ good times and definitely made today a good day in my book!

Remember watching him and his Mr. Chevy tractor at Bristol Motor Speedway the use to have NTPA Red Man series there on pit road in the 80's

Thanks + Great video! John Shaul lives down the road from my family in upstate NY. Nice guy + I Always wanted to interview him.

Great video, Where can I find the behind power trax full video (20:53)with Ralph?

Great job. Much appreciated

Ralph Banters grandson has taken an Allis Chalmers tractor that Ralph had converted into a lawn mower and made it into an antique pulling tractor. Starting to follow in grandpa’s shoes

Awesome stuff! Thank you I’ve admired the Banter bros. For years

If your into late 80’s and 90’s pulling do you remember a truck called COAL TRAIN all ford power and truck from ohio? It was on espn once that i can find. That truck is from and still in my home town of wellston ohio. It was piloted by randy stewart and was a pretty successful rig.

How about doing don nolans yellow fever pro stock,one of only a handfull of mm that ever was competitive in pro

My dad pulled a twin crank to crank tractor in the 1970 allis Chalmers roar of power video!👍

fantastic job!!! Enjoyed this thoroughly!

🎉 Happy Birthday ROBGUY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

wow awsum

These guy.s were awesome back in the day.

Id love for you to interview Ken Venney while he’s still around. Get the NHRA and tractor pulling stories

This is fantastic, Sir. Thank you greatly!

I used to attend every Indy super pull event, this team was top notch, every year they had something outstandingly special. When they pulled inside the coliseum the vibration from their tractors would literally shake stuff off the rafters and beat your chest. Incredible entertainment from these guys, thanks for the memories and incredible videos

Most of the video credit goes to Dan Mayer at Pulling Reference and Pulling Reference Rewind

That was a great interview those guys are legends in tractor pulling as a kid i remember them they were the best thanks it was a lot of fun to hear them stories

Ah yes, the Banter Bros. pulled in southern NYS and northern Pennsylvania back in the late 70's, early 80's. Mr. Chevy with 6 engines very popular. Good interview, thanks for posting this article.

When did you do this interview?

You're preserving history. Thanks for documenting this. The Banter Bros and Tim Engler dominated the unlimited modified class. Well done putting this together.

Great video! Love the fact our Cockshutt was one of the pics! Thnx. We love pulling against Dave and Ira

Dave was Always my Favorite growing up. Such a class act! Thank you for doin the interview and the leg work you are putting in.

I've been waiting for this one!!! Thanks

A true legend right there.I grew up in the 80s with the honor of seeing this incredible Banter Bros team at Ft. Recovery and Bowling Green many times I attended with my dad who was a puller as well and got me hooked on tractor pulling. GOD bless David Banter

I first saw the Banter Brothers pull at the Indiana state fair in the late 70s. They were always very innovative. Great video!

This is awesome. Thank you for honoring them! Ralph is my grandfather. The first job I ever had was working in the machine shop with him. :)

"I wouldn't let the crowd down...." The most poignant quote of the show relating to tractor pulling. Great hour plus of history. JW

Aw man cant wait for part 2!!!!

What happened to the blue 1929?

This was awesome and listening to Dave was a joy. Amazing what these guys did.

So why did they quit pulling or does he explain that in next video?

Looking well Mr.Banter, i only ever got to see yous at Twin Creeks in Inwood Ontario, standing at the end of the track 330 340 ft area when you made your pass was the coolest place on earth at that moment in time, thank you for the entertainment.

This is by far the best pulling interview that has ever been done!!! Thank you for the research that you’ve presented to us and the wonderful interview of Dave. I can’t wait for the next episodes with him.

want to add my thanks for you and mr banter for doing this.This is tractor pulling gold

Thanks for doing this. Growing up these were some of the larger than life guys.
