Scott Diuble, Manchester / Ann Arbor

Owner: Scott Diuble
Driver : Scott / Mike Diuble, Wilbur Henes
Tractor Name: "Pumpkin Gone Mad" A-C D21. This tractors name was derived from our previous tractor. Scott and Mike purchased an AC 7030 in 1993 to run in the Michigan Tractor Pullers "Hot Farm Class. It ran the first year with a Roosa Injection pump. We pulled, had fun, but did not really compete. Which gave the tractor the name "Big Fat Pumpkin". So the second year it was turned into an 8030 so we could at least run the Bosch Pump, that did change the tractor and by the middle of the season we had won our first hook ever. A friend of ours, Greg Weidmayer, had gone with us and was taping the pull and the tractor went by 300 feet he yelled out that pumpkin has gone mad and from then on it stuck. In 1996 we purchased the AC D21 from Scott Rawlings who is from Armada Mi at that time it was called "Wifes Nightmare". We immediately switched the name to the Pumpkin Gone Mad. At that time it was a three charger tractor which did not make very many passes without breaking something. With the help of trouble shooting from Max Simpson the following year we had finally started making respectable passes and most of all not breaking parts. The tractor had various upgrades like, Aluminum head, bigger chargers, double cut tires and a computer / data recorder over the next several years. In 2002 Mike stepped out of owner and driver to spend more time at home with family. In 2000 Wilbur Henes had already started to help us wrench on and make parts for the tractor. At the end of the 2003 season Wilbur had taken his first ride on the tractor and that hooked him even more. 2004 season presented some challenges, the 426 cu in. engine had its forth charger added to it over the winter and that required a whole lot of thing to be changed but thanks to Wilbur it got done. Since then we have been doing more fine tuning in trying to get more power while controlling boost pressure, thank goodness for the computer. That has really helped us to get the most out of our setup, without breaking too many parts.
