Six pullers reach paydirt
THE BUCK Tractor
enthusiasts who
visited the Buck Tractor
Pulls on Aug. 19 were treated
to six full pulls* an unusual
happening during contests
where a good distance and

track - came in the 5000
pound modified and 9000
pound open classes.

one competitor after another
swept through the end-zone
in command of hundreds of
mechanical horses. Some of
the engines develop more

Gary Mills, a regular
puller from Fallston, Md.,
steered a 427 cubic inch
Chevy powered machine to
victory in the 5000 pound
modified class. He dragged
the sled for the Ml distance
on his first attempt and
eventually won with an ef
fort of 264 feet and 10 inches
during the pull-off. The
second slot was won by

powered by two Chevy
engines. In third place was
