Kill switch works.

Excellent observation Jeff! I missed that.

 

[AHarris]

That is one cool Ford!

Kill switch works.

No kill switch in my class, just an aware driver with quick reflexes

This is what an activated kill switch sounds like at WOT. This is the 3rd accidental switch pull with this sled for him

After 9 pulls out of 10 (I missed the Billings MT. pull) I managed a first place finish with the Western Grand National Pulling Points Series 2015 I also pulled once with Rocky Mountain Pullers, 3 times with United Truck and Tractor Pullers and 4 times with AZ. Truck and Tractor Pullers for a total of 17 pulls and 12,000 miles! Here is a link to my last pull of the season 10-3-2015 in Wilcox, AZ. and a link to the pulling series. Had a blast this year!

Way to go, Nick! I have enjoyed your updates, and still love the sound of that angry FE.

 

[NIsaacs]

Update:

Just finished the 2016 season with a win in the points series with United Truck and Tractor Pullers in the 6500 lb. Stock Gas class. 14 pulls in 6 states, 13,500 miles with 3 organizations. Here is a link to my Winnemucca, NV. pull, 317 ft. 6200 rpm, the video is a little fuzzy with the setting sun but the audio is great! It just laid down and pulled and keeps on a tick'in!

The old Dodge is doing great too, second year towing with my Edge Juice (to the nay sayers) averaged 11.78 towing with the new trailer set on level 5.

I enjoy these vids every time. Love the sound. As above, smooth and never rough.

More good luck to you.

I went to a 2 day pull in Willcox this weekend, first pull of this year. I changed oil, charged up the batteries, added new gas and hit the road. Managed to win both days with the old truck

Here are a couple of pictures of the Isaacs clan, 3 Cummins powered tow vehicles and 1 Ford, however all the pulling trucks were Ford I might have a video later.

Whelp, the road Ford is new, so you should have at least a few trouble free months left :-laf

 

[TFucili]

Looking forward to more videos! Love to hear that rip-roaring FE.

 

[SRay]

NIsaacs: those are great videos!


I need to get back into pulling myself.

I've only done a few as I've broken parts or the clutch (previous single disc clutch) wasn't up to the task.


You should be able to get warranty for the broken hitch receiver as the welder didn't do a very good job. :-laf

Thanks, TF, here ya go. I have the big tires back on so RPM is down but traction is great,note at the end I am just at stahl speed.

Thanks SRay, here is my dumb bell son (the Ford Diesel guy) doing the same thing with a beefed up hollow one like the one I broke. I told him not to use it and he knows what mine did, but used it anyway. He had a one piece forged one but it was not high enough so he didn't use it:-laf This one ripped the tube right in half just outboard of the pin.
