[AT] Case La 1940 with 3/71 supercharged GMC engine.

My friend who drives my tractor in the pulls  took me out to see a neat 
tractor today. Its a 1940 Case, LA who someone has  very nicely tucked a GMC 3/71 
in where the old 4 cylinder was. It was a very  nice job looks as though it 
always belonged there. I can't figure out why he  completely removed the brakes 
though, I for one would want them. All that is  left is the foot operated 
emergency brake. One other neat trick was to put the  throttle though the double 
fuel tank and out to the governor on top of the  engine. Now that takes some 
ingenuity.  One thing that this has now is the  advantage of 2800 RPM of the 2 
cycle GMC engine that about 2 1/2 times as much  as the old 1100 RPM engine. We 
are thinking tractor pulls and what will happen  with all that power and RPMs.
