Harold Kiecker, of Lake Lillian, loads weight onto the front of his 1945 CO-OP D3 prior to the start of the West Central Antique Power Collectors Club tractor pull Sunday near Blomkest.
“Only 200 CO-OPs were made and I have five of them,” he said. “The government gave the plant in Shelbyville, Indiana, a grant in 1945 to make them for thrashing wheat in the Dakotas. The government was worried about food shortages.”
It is powered by a 250 Chrysler flathead.
