Changes on Rowdy

The IH 1066 Diesel Super Stock Tractor called ,,Rowdy´´ of Hans Schwaiger from revised IH 1066 hood. The IH hood is now a little bit longer than last year. Hans uses the same Firestone All Traction 10 Ply tyres, the same rear axle, the same Crower clutch and the same gearbox on his rebuilt Super Stock as he has also already used in the past years. Only the original IH clutch bellhousing got a modification. The shatter blanket around the clutch was replaced by a new protection liner inside the clutch bellhousing. The protection liner was constructed and built by Kaiser Performance in Gussenstadt, Germany. The Super Stock Tractor can drive without the shatter blanket now. With the new wedge frame Hans can rebuild the Tractor to an Component Super Stock Tractor anytime. The drivers position on the tractor is now further back and the center of gravity is lower. He hopes to get a better balance with those changes. Also the 6 cylinder IH engine with 4 turbochargers received some changes during the last winter. The engine got new pistons, a new intake system, the cylinder head was revised and the cooling system of the cooler modified. The cooler now sits behind the engine. The old Bosch P diesel fuel pump of the engine was replaced by a bigger Sigma injection pump with 17mm elements. Hans purchased the Sigma pump from the Midnight Deere Pulling in Germany.
Hans Schwaiger will compete with his Diesel Super Stock in German Championship this year.
The first start is planned for the 24th of April 2016 in Füchtorf, Germany.
