awesome. Anyone know the torque curve of the Multifuel? im thinking 2100 is peak. but could very well be wrong.

These are the numbers:
300 x 5.02 x 2 x 6.72 x 0.85(fudge factor)
______________________________ = 10,120 lb
1.7 (tire radius)
The engine torque is about 300 lb-ft.

Do the same for the Loadstar and you'll know who will win.
Loadstar torque, gearing and tire size should do it.

The deuce's engine torque is not much to brag about (300 lb-ft). I'm not so sure that the two axle FMTV M1078A1 couldn't out pull the deuce. It's cat engine has a torque of over 800. Don't know the gear ratios, though.

There's a blue million factors that play into this! Mostly it's finesse! The skill of an experienced tractor puller is evident when watching competition. Doing a drawbar pull changes things a bit too. Assuming that this would occur on dirt I'll still put my money on the heavier vehicle, especially if it's the deuce with AWD. When I was many year younger our humble off road recovery business had 4 trucks. One was a 79 Chevy shortbed half ton. At least that's what it said. After all the mods and reinforcing the truck tipped the scales at over 7000# empty. When we would play around, that truck would pull any of the other pickups anytime.

My biggest worry would be, snapping a driveshaft, Or u-joint. Or mabye scattering the clutch. IF you loose the one between the tranny and t-case, It could result in your death!!! Be careful only you know what your truck will or won't take.

why is it that once you try to put a plan into motion and actually do it, all of a sudden his truck is busy hauling grain and wont be able to do it for along time.. but yesterday he wanted to do it Friday.. for some reason there was a sudden grain rush and he wont do it now

Whatever you do, don't do it on pavement. My bus is a 1800 international, and I snapped a driveshaft pulling on pavement.
Deuce has 6.00 first, 2 to 1 low range, and a 6.72 axle. That would be a total reduction of 90.3 to 1
Grain truck, 7.00 first, 2 to 1 2-speed rear end(guessing here), and 5.88 gears, giving it a reduction of 82.3 to 1.
So if both are running the same size tire, then the duece has the gear advantage.
With all the axles driving on the deuce, it has about 13,500 pounds of traction.
With just the rear axle driving on a empty grain truck, it will have less then half it's total weight on the driving axle. Not sure how much one of them weigh, but sounds like a losing situation.

pull off
I have many offroad trucks purpose built for mud. All low geared with big tires. In these contests the strap gets tight and then the pull starts. Then one truck will start to hop when the tires get hot and sticky. Or worse both trucks will start to hop. When everything gets to much traction....BANG... Hope you win, but be ready for carnage.

axles
I forgot to mention around here the 4wheeling trucks use deuce rears under their trucks with 55 inch tires and no weight. Those axle shafts are not as strong as you think. We break them front and back all the time. One guy even broke a rear one with 5 ton rears under a 79 F250. Pics on misfits4x4.net. So be careful. Mark
