Degsy Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Paddy is desperate to win the lottery so he can have one:D. Like Richard I saw it years ago at a show at Aintree Liverpool, it raced against a police traffic car on the old racing circuit and left the police car standing, phenomenal acceleration.

nz2 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I recently watched a video of a Volvo loader setting a speed record at about the same speed. It was a heavier model than the JCB. This was a Volvo works promotion. When the British team were at Bonneville a few years back there was a JCB set up as the push vehicle. Coverage of the time showed the tractor in action getting the record breaking vehicle underway. I understand it was also timed or at least recorded at a high speed on the salt flats. My inquiries never suceeded in finding out how fast it was. I would assume the gearing was changed to give it the additional speed.

Tony B Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 I do know somebody who fitted a 5.3 litre V12 Jaguar engine to an old Massey 35. When I asked why? The classic answer was we could. Never trie dto drive it though, I like the front wheels to stay on the ground when you let the clutch in.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
