Thanks. Couldn't have done it without your help.

The 15/17 gearset works great. With cut tires and a biting track, I can run in second. 3rd gear works for a loose track. To me, proper gearing is most important, followed by properly weighing the tractor, tires, then engine.

My last two pulls everyone dug holes about the same spot. I had all my body weight on the bar behind my seat and managed to dig my way past it. The tractor almost stopped trying to dig through everyone else's holes. Once past the bad spot, I put 15 feet on everyone else. Plan to add a back weight bar for the next pull.

Managed to find a set of 26" Super Lugs with the nubs still on. They are still out there. Hate to say what I paid for them though. Anyhow, not much else I can do to my tractor. Thanks again for your patience and help, and thanks to everyone else who pitched in.
