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.

Awesome look into the past! I'd love to see the 70 run again.

The good ole day's that got me into tractor pulling with Alton Adams sled, The Heartbreaker, you on the 70, and my engine builder Robert Smith. I had the nasty 4010 gas from 04 to 08. Got my Phd in pulling from you guy's. Cool to see this, brings back alot of good memories!

Was the Case James Coleman out of Baltimore? I know he pull against Bealls when they had the W9.

[@so.md.maniacs1403]

Yes! I couldn't think of his name when l put this vid. up, no disrespect intended to Mr. Coleman.

[@goldsburg]

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

[@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.

[@user-yv5jx3ng7f]

How did you get the fuel to it?

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

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

[@user-yv5jx3ng7f]

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

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

@@user-yv5jx3ng7f There is a LOT of "tweeking" you need to do to get maximum fuel delivery, it takes a while to get it right.
