Thanks for posting these. One of my cousins worked at Gladhills at that time and worked on the pullers, Coleman's in particular. I'll share this with him and see if it jogs any memories!

Nice machine. I would like to see a video like this for Deere Power because it is the tractor that really impresses me.

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

I do have one for Deere Power, look again. Thanks.

[@3069mark]

@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 -- I will check. Thanks, Bill. Yeah, those videos of Deere Power at the pulls are impressive.

We met Coleman and Mary Ellen at the Buck in 1974. We traveled many many miles with them and stayed with them wherever they lived. I was confused when I saw your tractor at Bowling Green. I knew the 4010 is in New. York. In 74 he had the newer hood on but I did see a pic on Facebook that had your hood on. That hood must have been on prior to 1974. I built a scale model of the 4010 and the Buck sled. I'll post it on face book sometime. A side note. MaryEllen is in a nursing home in Seaford, De. Sad to say she has dementia. It started about 3 years ago.

Hi Glenn, glad you had the privilage of knowing Coleman.I think you may be a little off on the year,Colemans' picture in the April,1977 puller shows him still running that hood.Thanks for your interest.

@@billmichellegrimes2135 I was at a PTPA meeting one time and I think Coleman was there also. I'm not sure if I am remembering it correctly or not, it was a long- long time ago, but I heard a story about someone giving him a pair of John Deere shorts that he would wear at the pulls. I don't know if it was true or not. I do know that I got involved with pulling at a young age and with the PTPA in 1975. I met a lot of great people and had some of the best times of my life and often think back on those days.

@@charliebrown1063 Hey,thanks for sharing the memory.

[@cubboy06]

I have some pictures of the original 4010 also I know of his shirt that he wore when running the 4010.

[@so.md.maniacs1403]

Hey, that's great, I'd really like to see those pictures. Tell me more about the shirt.

[@burtbrooks7731]

Thanks for saving it!!!👍

[@kdf4440]

the original ether eater is tucked away in a shop about 5 miles from where i live hasn't been out in a couple years but I talked to the guy that owns it and he said maybe next year he will try and get it out and get back into pulling

[@billmichellegrimes2135]

Great! I talked to Jim a time or two to get a better idea of exactly what was where on the tractor.A nice guy.

[@burtbrooks7731]

Feed us sir💪 we take all ya got👍👍

[@lennygerber5631]

We're planning on doing one of these would like to know how you filled in for the wide block your help would be greatly appreciated

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

I just added a strip of 1/2" steel square stock down the bottom edge of the head with countersunk machine screws. Then smear on the permatex. Let me know how the project turns out.

[@brandontamme9040]

What size injector you running?

[@billmichellegrimes2135]

They are John Deere 4430 injectors. I drilled out the 4 hole tips, I think to .025 or maybe a little bigger. I wanted to run what they had back then.

[@brandontamme9040]

@Bill & Michelle Grimes what do you think it's making for power? Also where did u get them lazered out?

[@so.md.maniacs1403]

@@brandontamme9040 I think it's only 300 or 400 HP. l drilled them out myself.
