Simpleton7016 2 Posted January 21, 2006 I love it elon. I absolutley love it! Where did you get the straight pipes? I want to do my 7016 simalarly, but mine will be all show, no go compared to that machine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roy 0 Posted January 21, 2006 I want to hear those twin exhaust stacks in action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jovee 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Nice ride Elon - seen it in the backround of other pics posted but the closeups are better. Is this the same one you did the pulley reduction on for the speed? Also, did the gas company approve all the fittings?:D . Do the neighbors look for a Harley when its running? Love the pipes :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastPaul 0 Posted January 21, 2006 There's not enough words to say, Simply AWSOME!!!!! you've got to proud of the one. Thanks for the pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firefoxz1 4 Posted January 21, 2006 Looks good, but I really like the slide hitch in the back, never know what hitch height will be required till you get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't take credit on the aluminum weight carriers and hitch, Rob_B had them made when his girls were pulling. I have a mid mount weight Carrier yet to be mounted. Still trying to decide how to do it so it looks good and will work well. Elon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a guy that had it but it got to expensive to keep. So it was just lying around behind the garage. Elon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehertzfeld 1 Posted January 21, 2006 And BTW just in case some of you are thinking of trying to do flames, let me just warn you, it took me about a month to do them. As cool as the look, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! Elon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPH 12 Posted January 22, 2006 Cool looking rig Elon. Did you put smaller tires on the front? they look like 6 inch rimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comet66 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Great looking rig!! Why so pullers put smaller lighter tires and wheels on the front,... and then hange more weight to make it heavier? Is it just the cool factor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The smaller tires are to get the center of gravity lower that normal. Marty, without going out and looking, there 410x6. Elon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AC808 0 Posted January 22, 2006 That looks like fun...Ive given some thouhgt to doing something similar to my 808/818. The flames ad a nice touch.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HubbardRA 19 Posted January 23, 2006 Comet66, Use of smaller tires to many people is looks only. For the die-hard pullers it is an attempt to get the center of gravity as low as possible in the front of the tractor. If a line drawn from the centerline of the rear axle to the center of gravity angles downward, then when the front end tries to lift the center of gravity moves forward and essentially hangs on a longer lever arm. This produces a self-stabilizing effect. If the center of gravity is high just the opposite will happen and cause the machine to raise up violently and drive the wheelie bars into the ground. As I said above, when pulling, the pivot point, for keeping the front wheels on the ground, is the centerline of the rear axle. You always want the front weight as close to the ground as you can effectively get it. Small front wheels are an easy way to lower the location of front end weight. In many of the stock classes, modifications to the basic chassis are not allowed, but wheels can be changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bud119195 119 Posted January 23, 2006 That has got to be one of the coolest looking tractors I have seen in a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehertzfeld 1 Posted January 24, 2006 Thanks for all the kind complements. It took a lot of hours, Meany just sitting looking at it trying to figure out what/how to do it. Like I said before, the flames were the most challenging, not being an artist, that was a new experience for me. Elon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simpleton7016 2 Posted February 1, 2006 Elon, start thinking about a fair price for that machine because when I win the lottery this weekend, I plan to make a real generous offer! Erik P.S.
