another wd topic

allright guys theres a slight modification to the plan. new rules for this year say that stock class tractors may only go 2.5 mph??? is this do able with a stock unit turining stock rpms on 28's in first gear??? 

Its funny....I broke a crank ONCE....when I swapped off some stuff for this 360 inch motor..It was an original WC 4" crank welded to 5 5/8ths. Not a 4.5 crank, a WC crank. It was reground to 1 3/4 journals.  It was running with  for 7 years before I got it. Then I PUNISHED it for a year and a half more, till it finally cracked. I figure it got no less than 200 250 hooks on it before I got it. I know I put a SOLID 50 hooks on it one summer alone. SO lets call it 300 hooks, ON a 4" core crank, On 1 3/4 journal ,  IN 360 inch engine.

What Im getting it is..... here is a motor that should have NEVER lasted as long as it did, made the POWER it did, and get ABUSED the way it did. BUT IT RAN PRETTY WELL.

So PANK, whats your newest excuse for your expertly engineered POS blowing the crank out in 4 or 5 runs? You cant even cobble something together that makes noise, let alone runs dependably..QUIT interrupting positive conversation. Admit you are making  attention noises like a two year old, and leave people alone. You have become a menace to the pulling society..GO AWAY!

Broken crank huh? Last years results. Pank claims to be doing his own cranks. Low power application at that weight and speed.

Pank's cranks new motto is " we build em with lots a purosity to save weight"

Stop makeing it so easy.

A little moror that broke the crank in one pull and finished 3 rd is better than a smoking wc being entered twice once by dad and on e by som. How many years ago are those standings you finding. You got your tale beat this year alot of fourth place finishes your proud of isnt it

Your lack of experience is really showing. Pistons don't wear 15 thousandths. Boreing is a one way operation. "No matter how less you bore it's sleeve". With pank's knowledge there's absolutly no way he has any kind of experience.

Please explain what is wrong with used sleves pressed in and bored? They are true. New sleves bought for the same purpose still need to be bored.    

Much better than buying a used motor with used sleves, used rings and used pistons don't yoy think?

Go to the classifides. I just busted you up good.

Blue, around here the rules are usually 4 or 5 mph pace and not much for rpm rules. As long as you are under 3000 or so nobody will raise an eyebrow. With 38" rubber my wd45 is even a tad fast for 4mph. a wd is a bit faster gearing and you're 3mph pace will hold it back to short tires or low rpm.

I don'thave much of a motor in it, 240 cubes at 11.25 to 1 comp ratio, pistons quench to the head and have bowls in them. A stock cam degreed in to a 104 or 105 intake centerline. Works fine. I'll sell the complete short block assembly sometime if it intrests you. But I'm in no hurry to, as I just don't have time to mess with putting another. One togather

Blue, Even a stock WD will get speeding tickets in a 3 mph class with 38" tires. If your rules allow get a set of 16.9x26 or 14.9x28 tires and wheels with 8 bolt centers off a Gleaner or JD combine. They will bolt right up to your tractor and get rid of your power adjust wheels and some weight as well. This will allow you some extra rpms without blowing the horn. A couple of guys in our club pull WDs like this and do really well. I'm really at a disadvantage on my WC with 14.9x24s on narrow 8" factory rims, but have figured out a way to make it work. Kip

Ohh getting all defensive are we?? Looks like I poked a sensitive subject. Also looks like Wi posted the facts. You're a liar spunk, go home.

If you haven't noticed the forum was peaceful the last few days when you were quiet and not spilling your bs all over.

Again... Not arguing, just stating the facts ;)

I hate to break your heart pank, but I checked out that link to the corssroads of dixie where you were 50 feet behind the leaders and placed in the top 4.

The other day it was a 12 tractor field... Today it's 42???

Not arguing, just questioning reality.
