[AT] Juicin it Up

[Gene Dotson]

    Below is a link to a picture of my brother, Edsel, pulling
the 1954 MM-UB. This picture is a few years old and looks like
he is weighted for the 7500 pound class.

:     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.

: : 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.
