I don't but, I'm sure there's photos deep in a government building, it was testing the prototype of the hellcat. Excerpt from CJ Nuttall's 1966 WES report: "The land speed record for tracked vehicles may be held by .C. W. Wilson, who in 1944 tested the T70 76mm gun motor carriage (which, detuned, later became the M18) at 70 mph. He reports it was a hairy experience." Fred Crismons book on US military tracked vehicles has pictures of the m113 deemed the "HOT ROD" from the 70s.

That 5 foot deep ditch at the road looked way deeper than that when the tractor was hopping toward it with me standing on the brakes white as a sheet.😳

Brian, you are superb at digging up this kind of historical research and making it fascinating! These guys kept the stock wheelbase so farmers could see it was a real tractor. It would have been much steadier if they stretched the frame a foot or two. Oh, and even a couple of inches of suspension instead of just the sidewall flex would have made it practically a Cadillac.

Having grown up near Firestone's Farm early on Harvey had Barney Oldfield drive a rubber tired tractor into town at the unheard of speed of 14 mph. The pic @ 10:25 shows a date on the sign Sept. 20, 1934 which coincides with Harvey hosting a PGA (Potato Growers) convention at his homestead in Columbiana, Ohio. Firestone still operates their Ag division test center on his Farmstead in Columbiana. Such cool history!

@@brianlohnes3079 My Minneapolis Moline 5 Star with a Hot camshaft will really wind up, but as I bought it with stamped steel wheels that have too big of a hole for the axle were crudely shimmed and the wheels are not centered on the axles. It really hops if I try to wind it up. I never checked the speed. I should mount a GPS on it to find out. At Antique Tractor pulling speeds it won't matter, but the speed Super Stocker and Modified Tractors turn their wheels very fast and it would matter. There was a guy with a V-8 8N Ford that would do at least 40 MPH and he would run it on half mile horse race tracks at County and State Fairs for an exhibition .

I did not hear mention of Walt Buescher, Allis Chalmer's Great Lakes region sales rep. He was having trouble selling rubber tires, so he started telling the dealers to put down rubber tires on all new tractors ordered. When they arrived, he told the farmer someone made a "mistake", and ordered it with rubber tires. He would then tell them that it would take several weeks, and to make it up to them, they could do their farming with the rubber tires, and when the steel wheels arrived, they would change them out, at no cost. All but a couple of stubborn farmers told the salesman to never mind, they'd keep the rubber tires, and pay the difference.

In the middle nineteen fifties , i was towing a wagon loaded with hay with my uncles ford . Going down a steep hill i thought i needed more speed ( i was thirteen and imortal ) i pushed in the clutch and let it go ! As i gained speed the liquid in the rear tires could not keep up , and the wheels bounced off the road , never did that again !

Kathy Archer beat Donahue's record with her AC D19. Her and her father came up form the ranks of sled pullers to be GN Unlimited 5 engine tractor pullers as The Pioneer and The Black Widow before selling them off and "retiring" to this milestone at 106 mph.

The Australian made Chamberland tractors were made with a side by side car and gearing for road use. The idea was to make them more suitable for road travel between different parts of the large stations in Australia. One was modified and entered into the Reddex Round Australia Trial (a rally for cars) where it could reach speeds up to 110km/h - or 68mph. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamberlain_Tractors

I have done around 25mph on both a Fiat diesel farm tractor and also a Red Fergy petrol. Possibly would have went faster but starting to get loose at that speed. It was about 15mph and scarey with the other Fiat with water in the tyres. Our big 1959 TL14D front end loader was about 20mph flat out, it was a little slower when the Allis 6 was replaced with 4cyl Perkins. It worked better however. Your the bloke to organise some of the pulling tractors to go drag racing!

I don't know... is this video going to get any ... traction? And... what will pull it out if it doesn't? Regardless, we can say this is certainly more fertile ground for speed testing... OK! OK! I'm sorry! heheh. very cool video, thanks.

I would offer the opinion that Dave Archer has been lost in the mix via the JBC & Guy Martin. In Martins own words he calls Archer the "proper" title holded on a legit AC tractor at around 108 as I recall. That takes nothing away from this outstanding video. Just kind of a shame that JBC & big money showed up (oh and tv of course) and pushed out the little guy. Is what it is but their motivation is different that a racers.

Hmmmm.... I know a LOT of guys who run both vintage and modern pulling tractors, and your higher classes of pulling tractors can reach wheel speeds of well over 120mph... However those have about as much in common with an actual farm tractor as a Top Fuel Funny Car has to do with it's stock counterpart... custom everything, rear axles out of heavy equipment, semi or otherwise even bigger engines, multiple turbos running way in excess of 100psi of boost, custom chassis, tires that cost $15,000 EACH (Not even joking) Engines cranked up to the point that the only way to start it cold is by spraying an entire case of ether starting fluid directly into the turbo two cans at a time... But I'm wondering now what kind of engine swaps would be allowed? They make a kit to bolt a chevy 350 in a Farmall M... and I've seen a couple and let me tell you, that thing HAULS at 5,000RPM... I don't know how fast it was but it was enough to be scary! I know one guy who runs a.. and get this, 24 valve 5.9 Cummins WITH SPARK PLUGS and a TUNNEL RAM with DUAL HOLLEY CARBS in a Farmall M for vintage modified pulling... on methanol... Point is... I wonder what the limits of mods are because I can already put together in my head ideas of how to make an old tractor go... way, way faster than a tractor has any right to go.....

The diesel engines converted to spark ignition are always a fascination. I love the DT466 International as an all time workhorse, but on methanol with a large turbo, I like them even more.
