Well I can not help you with your Quest but I will tell you that you are not the first to want to put an Aircraft Engine in a Farm Tractor to be used for "Pulling". Back in the 1960's a group of Farmers around Earlville/Mendota ILL. [I won't mention Names] were famous on the NTPA Circuit or whatever it was called back then for the Minneapolis Moline /Allison Aircraft Engined Pulling Tractors they created. The Allison Boys were the ones to beat at that time until Marshall Myre of Seneca ILL. and his Fire exahusting International Harvester Tractors came on the Scene. and How about Buzz Timmons and his V/8 Detroit powered John Deere 4010.Art Arfons of Ohio toured with his JT Jet powered Tractors and Drag Cars in that Era also. Of course they can't compare with what is on the pulling circuits now, but in their day they drove the Fans wild with the show they put on.
