At first I counted the headers on the Green Monster --48!!-- but I guess it's "just" 24 cylinders.

Yes, four engines.
I read long long ago those zoomie headers pointing up produce a downforce of a couple hundred pounds for just one engine. |

I did not know that about the upward-facing headers. Cool engineering trick to keep your wheels stuck to the ground. |
They are 12's, hence 48 pipes.
The front ends just sort of wander around. Do US pulls use a sled with a driver? |

For some reason I think it was Garlits who discovered the downforce effect but not sure. |

The Hell Cub is owned by Diversatech Incorporated - American Manufacturing in
Pennington, NJ, just above Trenton. I want to get hold of them after the holidays to see if they can do some lazer engraving for me, so Maybe I can see this beast. I'd like to see the driveline. |
My grandfather had one of those, and I drove it a lot one summer 30 years ago. His only modification was to have a hose in the radiator cap leading to a plastic jug so he could catch the water that boiled out of the radiator and pour it back in while out in the field.
In hindsight, I wonder why he didn't just use some compressed air to blow the fins of the radiator clean of all the dried grass clippings packed in there. I learned how to use a grease gun to grease the sickle mower attachment before each use. That was the only maintenance. It was sold a couple years later for $800, which seemed a little low to me for a tractor that worked. |

Bulletin: It's winter, DUH :facepalm:
This is Oregon but ice happens way down in Texas too. |
That looks like hell, but I wonder how many of the carried vehicles are actually completely undamaged?
|
Undamaged until the whole rig drops off the cliff. :eek:
