[AT] RE: Vintage tractor pulling advice

[Indiana Robinson]

Walt's comment about "dumping the clutch" reminded me of the old days when they pulled a 
full load from a dead stop. Deeres seemed to do well then with a lot of clutch slipping. 
That acrid smell of burning clutch was quite strong. Most here pulled on dirt and through 
mud then. Locally they put in a concrete pad at the fairgrounds in front of the 
grandstand just inside of the horse track. I think they only used it a couple of years 
then nobody would pull because it cut the tires down too fast. That would have been in 
the mid 1950's.
