A Typical Competitive Garden Pulling Tractor Would Tech Out Like This:

• Type of Tractor: Mostly Cub Cadet, built by International Harvester or the early MTD models.
• Engine Type: Mostly Kohler single cylinder, K-series or Magnum, flat head (valves in block), cast iron engine block. Up to 16 (factory-rated) horsepower.
• Engine Modifications: Billet cylinder head; billet connecting rod with a bearing insert; forged high performance piston; special stroked steel crankshaft; special steel camshaft; larger valves along with stiffer valve springs; intake and exhaust ports made larger with unrestricted intake and exhaust; modified carburetor extended from engine block for improved fuel atomization; special ignition system; steel flywheel; etc.
• Horsepower and Torque: Example: 37 cubic inch, 16hp engine having a 3.815" bore and 3.25" stroke, up to 49 horsepower @ 7,500 rpm and 55 ft. lbs. of torque @ 5,500 rpm on racing gasoline. This was computed using Mr. Gasket's DeskTop Dyno computer application. (Do a search on the Internet for "Mr. Gasket's DeskTop Dyno" and you can download the program from one of its distributors. Or look on eBay for this program.) Add 13% more horsepower for methanol fuel.
• Drive Train and Chassis Modifications: Special clutch setup along with a stiffer pressure spring and hardened drive shaft material; special gears in transmission; automotive differential case and axles; increased wheel base length; adjustable hitch; etc.
• Pulling Tires: Professional: Cepek Giant Puller, LawnTec, Temco Pit Bull and Vogel's VM07. Non-professional: Carlisle Super Lug, Firestone Flotation 23, McCreary Traxion and Titan/Carlisle Tru Power. Mostly in the 26-12.00x12 size.

Use these Tips & Tricks at your own risk. You are responsible for what you do to your engine and/or tractor with the information provided in my web sites. If anyone feels uncomfortable using these tips in constructing or modifying a competitive pulling tractor, then please consult with a professional tractor/engine builder for assistance. Another important thing to remember - If you think that a flywheel, clutch or steering part might fail when pulling, then by all means, either repair or replace it. Never take chances! Because an innocent bystander could get seriously injured or even killed if a questionable part is overlooked. Which in turn would take all the fun out of the sport of pulling. And always make use of proper shielding where necessary, and wheelie bars, even if your club doesn't require them. And if some of my tips and tricks don't help you do well in pulling, install a hood ornament as a good luck charm. :-)
