[Farmall] IHC truck and tractor

[Matthew]

hey rob, we talked a few years ago at some point.......i is a kiwi, and you 
live on the west islands.......lol.......westies

some pics i took at the local tractor record attempt today

http://www.puddingsworld.com/Machinery/Friends_tractors/NZ_tractor_record_attempt/new_zealand_tractor_record_attem.htm

i never driven a t liner, but they are some of the toughest trucks 
built........

i used to drive a acco 2150.....still remeber the growl under the cab, and 
the run up required at hills to get up with out having to change down

ya need to have a hunt round and see what others are running under them,

the duals?........just try wieghting her, and let some air out of the 
tires.........hey what about half tracks.....lol

........steak and beer huh, damn, you aussies know how to live it up 
lol......

have you ever seen the movie called the castle??.........thats a personal 
fav........nothing like the sound of a two stroke at full noise in the 
morning!

>> I have an Inter truck , an ACCO 1710A twin cab with a 392 and Allison 451

>> I'm also on the hunt for an ASM or an SAW6 , or a AW7 , if they are still

>> I am using a W6 , with a retrofit AW6 3pl on it , which is just adequate 
>> to pick up a Wallace 5 tyne aerator with seed box.
>> But the tractor cannot pull 5 tynes mostly , and sometimes even loses 
>> traction on 3 tynes. It is on 14-9x 28 rear tyres , and wheel weights on 
>> cast centres.
>> I'm hoping that a slightly larger back tyre on a tractor with an "S" 
>> motor would do the trick , but should I go for radials ?, would that give 
>> me that extra bit of traction ?.
>> I want to stay with petrol engines , so that limits me somewhat .
>> Any suggestions?.
