Turbo Two Cylinder John Deere 70 Diesel , Pulling!

"Hazardous Material", turbocharged John Deere 70 Diesel ,pulling at Mardella Springs, Maryland 1999 in the Outlaw Open Antique class. Won the 5,500 lb class in a double pull-off with John Hills' super tough Moline UB. Hill won the 7,500 lb class decisively.

The most fun I ever had in my life was watching 4 tractors pull a 50' long store building on runners about a 1/4 mile. A bunch of us 2 and 3 year olds were staying with mamaw. I love tractor pulling but for a young lad, actually seeing them accomplish something over a 5 hour period was bliss.
There was a little kerosine burning John Deere that even out pulled the M Farmall and a 1975 model Diesel International.
What is amazing is how much tire spin the John Deeres make considering it sounds like they are turning 800 RPM.

Pretty cool video. Nice to see the older tractors. Rare to see a D21 Allis doing much more than parade duty now, pull back tractor. Was Oscar your father? Looks like it ran pretty good. Thanks for the videos, Bill.

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

Yes, Oscar was my dad, we got the chance to pull antiques together for a few years.

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Pretty cool. Looked like he enjoyed the way the tractor ran. Thanks for sharing your old videos and stories.

[@so.md.maniacs1403]

Does no one know how to change gears on the sled box?

[@RandyCussins]

How did you get the fuel to it?

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

13 MM , 830 injection pumps, and drilled out inj. tips.

[@RandyCussins]

So I got a 720 with 13mm pumps you reckon it’s the same flow? Thanks for the feedback also.

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

@@RandyCussins There is a LOT of "tweeking" you need to do to get maximum fuel delivery, it takes a while to get it right.

👍👍

[@manbeargaming9728]

I've got to ask. Is the 70 still around?

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

Yep! We drag it out of the back of the shed every once in a while and take it to the local Co. Fair pull.
