R.I.P. Coleman Wheatley. I remember him pulling in South Jersey with a John Deere called "The Delaware Either Eater". When he moved to Indiana, he switched to Case IH. I think he had 3 of them at one time before he retired. He always sold custom farm toys also.
I remember watching Terry Blackbourn when he was running an alcohol burning Farmall 560. He had quite a time trying to get that tractor to run right. I was delivering parts for a local parts store back then. One of my stops was at the Blackbourn implement in Shullsburg, WI. I would see their tractor torn down in the shop, over the winter, while they were making improvements.
Wow, this takes me back. Loved the alcohol super stocks. Terry Blackbourn on the Slowride years before I first saw it at the Elkhart County Fair in 1996. I had seen the Conner brothers at the Indy Super Pull many years before, but alcohol on a super stock in the early 80's was just weird.
I wish you were Tony Fairwood still have their tractor pull but they did away with them I don't even care to go there anymore that was about the only reason I went thank goodness link for New York on back to 2 days instead of having the Jamboree
