Jason Schultz / Mike Schultz, Kimberly

Dad named it Blackjack because of the 21 theme. It has the 426 with 2 turbo's (3x4)

Owned by Mike Schultz 79%, I own 21% of it. I am on the father/son payment plan. That is our little joke. Our good friend and mechanic Don Coonrod drives it also.

Dad always said we would have a red one, but in 1990 he bought a D21. It was a farm stock pulling tractor owned by Mike Lebarge from Central City, Iowa. At the time it was called the Joker, and I remember the day we picked it up, I was so excited, I think I was 16 or so.

Dad started pulling it with the East Central Iowa Tractor Pulling Association in the Lim Pro Class. In the mid to late 90's, the club passed a rule that if you were under 430 cubes you could run twin chargers. Dad and Don tinkered with this a lot. In the winter of 2001-2002 we invested in a Datalog computer, had a lot of headwork done by Mark Colberg and new turbo's by Area Diesel. In 2002, 2003 and 2004 we won the 8500 lb Lim Pro Points race in the ECI, and if I were a better driver, we could have possibly gotten the 9500 lb Points Race in those years as well. For years the tractor was painted all black, there are some older pictures under the Random Page, but we said if we ever got her running hard, we would make it look real nice, and we are very proud of Blackjack today.

HOW DO YOU DEFINE A HOBBY, SOMETHING YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE, THAT YOU WILL NEVER MAKE A DIME DOING, BUT WHO CARES! We especially want to thank Don Coonrod of Coonrod Performance located in Springville, IA. For everything that he has done for us.

I hope that by creating this site, we can bring more awareness to the AC Pullers and who knows, maybe get them back on top at the National Level. Thanks for your time. Jason Schultz Creator of TheFewTheProudTheOrange.com.
