[AT] Juicin it Up

[Gene Dotson]

    Greg;
    This tractor is still running the stock crankshaft.
Displacement is 512 cu.ins. Uses a combination of Detroit and
Cummins pistons an sleeves. Not sure which is which. All the
work and engineering was done by my brother, Edsel and his son
Kevin. Sweat and planning replaced a lot of dollars on this
setup. He very handily beat thr Gingrich $20,000 engines in the
Olivers.
    This tractor was the top puller in the Ohio Antique pulling
circuit for many years in the 6500 and 7500 pound classes.
    There is a Case "L" from Zanesville, Ohio who claims 1100
cu.ins. Engine develops a lot of steam, but doesn't hook up like
the Minnies do.

                    Gene

: 135hp is easy to get out of a MM 283 crankcase.  80-100 is
attainable
: just by dropping in
: a 403 crankshaft and putting on a set of decent heads.  There
are
: antique pullers out there
: with close to 700cid on top of the 283 case.  The LA Case
crankcase has
: been built to 1100cid.
: Takes lots of $$$ to get that big...

: Edsel sold his UB a year ago. Brother Gary's neighbor, John
Cronkilton
: owns it now. Haven't heard how he finished, but last I heard
he was
: doing real well with it. I think edsel estimated the power at
about 135
: horsepower. Not bad for a stock block 40 horsepower tractor.
