Depending on the year, an un-restored A will cost anywhere from 500 to 5000.
Horsepower varied by year, starting in the low 20's (1934) to roughly 35 hp in 1952.

And, if you want to know how to get about 110 hp out of one, just let me know.. :D

Pulled the old R for a while... had to get rid of it and I can't say that I miss it much.

The 60 has been my pulling mainstay for a number of years. Pull Div I and II 7500 and 8500 very competitively. It stays home mostly now due to the fact that people keep *****ing about the curved stack...

Last is the WD9. It is now painted and awaiting decals. I've been pulling with it since I can compete with some friends in the heavy classes. (9500-11500) Plus a diesel is always fun...

I used to pull an 820 JD diesel antique in the 10500lb or heavyweight 12500lb class. Problem was I won 98% of the time so everyone else quit pulling but 2 other guys so then the promoters dropped the class. :(
