Think it was a Farmall 460 that flipped over backward. John Klug from nw Iowa was one of the big time Farmall pullers back then. Ron Perry was the owner of solid junk. Ron worked at the Chrysler plant in Kokomo and even made a few parts there, so I was told by a neighbor of his. Ron personally told me he fit his rod bearings using a 3 corner file to scrape them to fit when we were sharing "secrets" one day. Ron farmed a little bit on the side.Dave Stangle only drove for Perry as I recall.
