Comment: I have a Allis Chalmers B-207e set up for drags (when it doesnt break) and a '59 or '60 B-10 with an old cast iron long stroke Briggs. I'm trying for pulls. If any one has one set-up and can give pointers Id appreciate it. Also how well can a 89 cub be built? Was wondering if it could stand up to pulling.

Comment: I am 40 yrs old. I have wanted to get into tractor pulling for many years but do not have the $ to do so. I thought I would research Garden Tractor pulling to see if it was possible. One big problem is I am not a mechanic so pulling may be just a dream.

Comment: I have learned more from your pages than anywhere else. I have talked with you in the past and you faxed me a copy of the hitch drawing before you posted it on your site. I have a 126 that has been in the family since new. I have had all the parts sandblasted and the misc. frame parts are being painted. I am going through the engine, basically to clean it up and paint it. What do you suggest using for an exhaust pipe? I can machine flat and tap the exhaust port but I'm not sure of the pipe diameter and the total length. I know a longer pipe (to a point) makes more torque and a short pipe is good for top end. Do I use a bushing in the port to reduce the threaded area down to the port size near the valve? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

There is a Toyoto Diesel engine to move it. It's name is Traction Action and it weights about 9000 #. It has 15 box speeds, 26 inch. of box movement in 200 ft.to a full box movement in just 76 ft. of sled travel. With these settings the sled will let a 800# 8Hp tractor to make a full pull and it will shut down a 1400# Mini Rod within 200 ft. Keep pulling, Bye for now.Eddie

No 1 axle Bolens Hydro, No 2 axle Vickers hydro, N0 3 axle Ariens (Sunstrand) all with 16 hp B&S per axle, It's an arm full to operate. The second unit has 2 Cub Cadet Hydros, plus a Cub gear 3 speed. This is powered at present by 1 16 hp Briggs, I have a 25 hp Onan that could go on this. all connected thru the drive line. Lots of time and effort on this one. Van

Comment: I really enjoyed your tips. I have been pulling since 1995. I am pulling a 8hp 1967 Jacobsen belt driven. I have been doing pretty well, but could always do better. Our club the Columbiana County Little Draggers classes are 0-8 9-14 15-20hp. I never knew you were note to run wheel weights, I have been. Should I remove them and put weight else where? I have been looking for a cub , but have not found what I what yet. Our class is only aloud to run 10.50 max. I am running cut Carlise's. Any other tips will be much appreciated. Howard

Also I have two spark plugs and coils how much of an advantage do you think it really helps me? Thanks and good luck on pullin the rest of the year.

Comment: My name is Bill Crist. I have 2 old Cub Cadets I'm restoring. I'm 53 yrs old and fell in love with these old machines because of their quality. I'm thinking of a 3rd but wife is watching so I'm stalling a bit. I'm an ex-boat racer and acquiring a taste for slower competitions...haha. I'd like to beef up 1 of my cadets to pull hard n da yard but not for competition yet till I learn to repair these things after breakages. I found your tips site and love it. you have done a fabulous job and great service to fellow hobbyist and done it in an honorable and respectable manner. my congrats! You mentioned welding the spider gears? I presume so both wheels always pull? could you advise specificly where and to what degree to weld? and what affect would this have on durability. right now I just want to play on my land pulling some logs around (small ones) I'm thinking it would help in pusing my snowblade too. I don't want to get into a highly modified version of pulling but would like some basic mods to get the most out of a stock tractor. One is a 12hp Mod 122, other is 12hp mod 125 hydro. thank you Brian. sincerely Bill.

Comment: This is my first year as a puller and it has been a lot of fun. I have a "Co-Op U" 12hp tractor. This tractor came from a local farm store. It has a aluminum transaxle and belt drive, but it still pulls good--no last place tractor. A lot of information I have tried to us that is on your site--weight, hitch, etc. Very good information for new people. Hope to move up to the "Cub" this coming year. Please keep up the good information. IT HELPS! Thanks Again. Charles

BUT AT THE START OF OUR PULLS OUR STOCK ATV'S PULL AROUND 9,000 POUNDS. WE ADDED AIR BAGS TO THE FRONT AXLE OF OUR ELIMINATOR SO WE CAN GET OFF THE LINE EASY AND WHEN THE BOX GETS OVER THE CENTER OF THE FRONT WHEELS IT REALLY PUNISHES YOU BAD SO YOU BETTER HAVE YOUR GEARING RIGHT!!

Comment: i just bought a model 1000 cub and i think i will try and run in the 10hp stock class. this tractor has been setting for about 4 years and needs to be totally gone through. i was reading some of your info and it looks very helpful, such as the hitch, wheelie bars and more. is the 1000 model a good tractor to start with and if you have any other idea's or helpful tips please email me.

Comment: good work on the website. Wish there were more in regards to garden tractors. We also have a good sized following in southern N.H. but we tend to do it in less expensive way. Most of our equipment is briggs powered and I think only two are cubs. My stock class tractor is a 1965 Simplicity landlord with 9hp briggs. I also have a 16hp simplicity with 8" tires that I run in 650 & 750 lbs. class super. Total investment at this time is less than $250

Comment: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, after nearly six years of on and off building of a puller all my questions have been answered and I also found a dealer not more than three miles from my home that carries a nice selection of pulling components due to your website. I have been in the process of building a 1000 Cub Cadet into a puller but my only problem was finding out any info on building a puller because I always found out about a pull the day after it was over. When I came upon your web site it answered all my questions and as I had mentioned I also found Lane Performance which is only located about three miles from my home, and they have been more than helpful. I am going with a 10hp Kohler for now but I see something bigger coming for next year, I'm leaning towards a Kohler twin I hope, but time will tell, I guess I should get this tractor on the track before I plan to far down the road. Again I would like to personally thank you for your site because had it not been for me finding your site it would be another year of saying maybe next year I'll get my puller going. I also have to E-mail you on a clutch question. Thanks Again, a friend in Pa. Bill Peden

Comment: Hey Brian nice site. I also have built and ran my own garden tractor sled for the last 14 years. I'm thinking of building a new one this winter. I'm going to try having the C frame deep enough that the box fits in between and down low. I'm putting the drive at the back and on top where I'll be sitting. The box will pass under me and the drive as it moves for one end of the frame to the other. I know it sounds stange but I think this set up will have a lot of advantages, like a shorter overall length and a protected drive arrangement, also the heavy stuff will be down low where it should be. If you have any ideas give me a shout sometime.

Comment: I'm new at garden tractor pulling and I think that this site is the greatest. I have been learning a lot about pulliing over the past couple of years and I'm really starting to catch on I work at Walters Lawn& Garden (922-0200). I'm 17 years old and I currently am building tractors for my buddies. The one I'm in the process of building now is a 128 with 104 body style it is going to be called Power stroke II* My tractor is a 102 Cub which is getting upgrades over the winter. If anyone is intrested in having ther tractor customly made engine and all call me or email me at hammer-time@evenlink.com or (570)966-0658

Comment: Hey Brian. I'd like to thank you for your web site on building a pulling sled. I built one for our ATV club using the information from your web site. When I built it, the only info on your site dealt with garden tractors. I see now it has some info on ATV sleds. I'd like to share a few ideas I used on mine with you. First I used 3/16x1 1/2x 4 tubing for the frame. Its nice and strong and 300 cc 2WD atv's can handle it. It can also stop the big 700 cc Polaris, along with ones adding as much as 800 lbs of weight to there racks. One thing I used that you might be interested in is I used a front axle from a F250 4X4. With the lock outs on the hubs, it can be unlocked to free wheel as you tow it down the road. The other thing I used was a gas powered golf cart rear end for the right angle drive at the top end. Its a Spicer unit with a 6.50 gear ratio and its aluminum. The only bad thing is there hard to get ahold of, at least up here they are. Oh buy the way. Next time you up date your web page on building a pulling sled, you might want to mention that when you lock the brake drum, you cut the gear ratio in half: ie 3.75 Again, I'd like to compliment you on a GREAT JOB on your web page.

Comment: Hello. I found your web site very interesting. Although I found your interest in Cub cadets overwhelming. Why not Wheel Horse, John Deere, Allis Chalmers, Etc.? Due to the fact I am new to this sport maybe I need a reason for the need of the "Shaft Drive." Don't hydros, belt drives, chain, etc. work well? I know the cubs with the automotive style clutch are awesome but why is it so difficult to find info regarding other brands? Don't get me wrong, I like all of the tractors, colors and outrageous ideas the competitors come up with! I think I am overlooking or maybe looking too deep into the subject due to my limited financial resources but I recently built a backyard J.D. 110 out of a used 1970 unit and pulled at two local pulls to no avail to be beaten by the famous "Shaft Drive" and with no pride at stake beaten Bad!!! And I must say I just sold the I.H. that I owned, but with that in mind and all the cub fans riding me hard I went back to the drawing board to put GEOMETRY to the test per your distance to weight ratio and with 1000# of weight distributed across the unit to provide the max control margin at the end of the track like you say off I went to the next pull!!! The Pumpkin Run in Egg Harbor N.J.and what a spectacular show it was with people comming from all around so in any event my heavyweight 110 John Deere belt drive stacked up against every make and model to finish in a pulloff 4 times against a Ford LGT 125 to win by 2 and 15-16"! Thanks to your article with the basic measurements of hitch height and weight ratio. I guess shaft belt chain etc. we can all win!!!! PS: I never won any event in my life before and wow what a feeling!!!! Now that I am 40 years of age and may grow up any day now thanks for giving your trade secrets of test in your articles on the net!! To finalize my long boring essay, I gave about a hundred people your web page address, hope you don't mind. thanks again!! Sincerely, Richard W. Kniesler Jr.

We just started a garden tractor pull club here, and I used some of your tips in your website. I ended up in secound place in the 6-10 HP class. I was out-pulling 10 HP tractors with a "stock" 7 HP Kohler. Thanks again for your tips. we presently pull in classes rated by horsepower. 3-5, 6-10, 10-15, and 15 and up. Like I said earlier, we are just starting and have a long way to go, but it sure is fun. Thanks again...

Comment: I am a local documentary filmmaker and I have been interested in garden tractor pulling for a while now. I only know little about it, but I think it would be an interesting topic for a documentary about local/state culture. I plan on calling you sometime since you seem to be the active garden puller in the region to see if you could give me advice and help out with the documentary to make sure I get an accurate perspective of the subject. Would this interest you? My plan is to follow some area pullers and then follow the events in the summertime, trying to capture the history behind it, what it is today, and who is involved. My phone number is 573-443-6805 (home) and my work number is (573) 214-3690. I'm a teacher, so I'm not in my office much. I would appreciate any advice or support you have. Also, great website! It's been very helpful for my research.

Comment: Hi Brian. I have a question about a cub 122. Our church was given one last year, and I`ve been working on restoring it. I just noticed that the brake is not completely disengaging and the trouble seems to be coming from inside the gear box. The brake linkage from the pedal to the brake shaft in the front of the transmission is free. To get to the brake pad and disk do I have to pull the transmission out of the tractor? Have you ever had that type of problem before? Bruce Kief, Calvary Chapel Of Delta...

From: Willie Williams of Sandy Creek, New York, just off the eastern shore of Lake Ontario.
Comment: Hello Brian. I first want to start out by saying thank you for all your knowledge and ideas on your website. They have been extremely helpful to me and my father, Jim. We have on again-off again been referring back to your site to check ourselves as we build one of these pulling creatures. See, about ten years ago my father purchased an old IH 126 CUB CADET second hand from a small dealer in our area of Sandy Creek--and -- Pulaski, NY. I give you both town names because nobody has ever heard of Sandy Creek, NY, where I live. Pulaski is 5 miles south of me and is home to some of the best salmon fishing in the Northeast. I've never fished for salmon here but we deal with all the out of state fishermen ALL the time. But anyway, he bought this old beat up tractor and volunteered me to mow, plow and snowblow with it. I hated that tractor because I could never get out of doing it because it always ran. never did it give any problems other than your usual ware and tare stuff. He finally sold the cub to a friend of his who was a big Wheelhorse man. Yeah, exactly, you can just imagine the shape it was in when we got it back from him a year ago. After seeing it in a shape of neglect so bad, I then realized that I didn't hate the thing, it actually had some sentimental value. I wish I had a picture to show you now!! she shines of all original paint, new 23x10.50x12 Carlisle Super Lugs, wheelie bars, newly freshened stocker K301A. We did have to replace entire clutch and driveshaft assembly (OEM) as for that's all that Central New York Garden Tractor Pullers Association will allow in their rules for the Stock Classes. We do have it turning a legal 4000 rpm. Basically the whole thing is stock other than the front tires (4 inch) and the rears. We have not changed any gears yet, (13tooth 1st, 19, 2nd, and 26, 3rd) I have read up on your gear selections and will be interested when funding allows. For this year we want to get our wheels on the track and just get a feel for what's going on. Where exactly to put weights on the machine is really the biggest thing now. Next year we want to go modified, but we'll see how things go. we do all of our own wrenching in house and are very proud. My father has been a wrench, professionally since 1964 on everything from model airplane motors to pull trucks, to semi's. We both agree that this is an interesting hobby and hope to move forth in it. Thanks again, Brian, you make it easier on guys like us who are finding interest in this awesome sport! I hope that we could chat more as I KNOW that I will have questions. If you happen to find time to, I would really enjoy hearing from you.

Two friends and I pull, I am a Pipeweldor by trade but last year started my own welding shop,building trailors[fish house frames]. I made our own rims w/ your advise thanks. the last pull we did was at Valley city, ND. at the farm fest under "Sneaky pete". Anyway I have great respect for the guy that Makes his own stuff, rather than goes down w/ a fat wallet and has somone else build the thing. Builing the machine is 3/4 the fun I think. Just my opinion. Thanks again.

Comment: Brian thank you so much for your help over the past year!!! You helped me from just getting started with my first puller to helping me finish my second puller to making me (my sons 6&9 year olds) a top competor in our local pulling club.

Comment: I sent you an email around midnight last night. Brian, I am very impressed with your knowledge and detail regarding engine building. My Landscape Company has several v twin Kohlers, we are in the process of rebuilding both, 22 and 25 hps. I could sure use your services, I like the Idea of inserting bearing in the connecting rods, and more, we are not racing the mowers, but our employees think we are and give them a Hell of a lot of abuse. I will try to call you today, Thanks Steve

Comment: Brian, I purchased a 1250 IH cub cadet this summer and found your tech info invaluable. Although I am a teacher I once worked in a machine shop and so I appreciate your expertise and attention to detail. Do you have any info on rebuilding mower decks as I am interested in returning this machine to a nearly new state.

Comment: Hello. I'm new to garden tractor pulling and I'd like to build a pulling tractor with my 6 year old son. Can you let me know how to get started? I have a couple of craftsman tractors, but I don't think they're Strong enough to be used for pulling. I'm thinking that we should make a tractor to pull in the altered stock class, so can you recommend a decent tractor for us to start out with? Also can you tell me where I can get one of those aluminum or chrome tanks that I've seen on some other tractors-(on the front)? Thanks.

Comment: Brian your web sites are awesome they have helped me a lot in the best motorsport known to man Tractor Pulling. I own a 1969 IH Cub Cadet 126. I bought it out of guys yard 2or3 years ago. My dad and I have made great progress in the working of my Cub. We stayed up until 5:00am working on it the night before the pull. After that we still had some more work to do so we got up at 6:00 that morning so we could finish and head out at 8:00 that morning. As of right now I am working on a motorcycle motor to put in the 104 frame. The bad thing about this is that where I live there is now where to pull. I am 13 yrs old and I am hooked for life.

Comment: Good morning. My brother and I are new to tractor pulling, and we're just beginning to build a Cub Cadet 124 model into a puller for our kids. (For us too). Anyway, we've been looking just about everywhere we can think of for one of those chrome or aluminum fuel tanks that we've seen on most of the nicer looking tractors, but we haven't been able to find out where to by one. Can anyone give us a good place to get a hold of one? I'm pretty sure that a 1 qt. tank would be the size we need. We're planning to build the 124 to pull in the Stock/Altered class, and any other info that you may be able to give us would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tom

Comment: Say, you sure have a dandy and well done site, I really appreciate it, and when I get ready to convert some of my many projects to Electronic Ignition, I will come to you for parts. I just now put the Electronic Ignition unit from my old 76 toyota corolla (Point operated) onto my faithless 73 Mazda pickup, what a difference. None of the Mazda Electronic Ignitions that I tried were of any value at all, totally unreliable. The Toyota one never missed a lick in over 600,000 miles, and yesterday I drove that lousy Mazda Pickup 100 miles, the gas gauge hardly moved, it runs like it never did before and should have!! Toyota only produced this point operated ignition a few years, it is a great one and the points were never changed (just polished once in a while) in over 600,000 miles in my old 76 Corolla 2 tc engine. In about 1978 Toyota went to a hall effect, I have some of these "saved up" and one day will check the ohms of the hall effect to see if they are compatible with other pickups. Again, you did a wonderful job on this site, thank you for the information, you are appreciated.

Comment: Hi Brian, I really enjoyed the site so far. I only spent a few minutes here, but added it to my favorite places, and I will be back. The reason that I came here is to look for information relating to my older 1970s Ariens Garden Tractor, with a Kohler K361 engine. t seems that when it heats up, it looses power, and I can nurse it along by pulling out the choke, and then she stalls. I wait a couple of hours and the same sequence starts all over again. Maybe someone has had the same problem and can help, Thanks Ken

Guess I must have the least desirable cub made. I got a craftsman to make up the difference the cub is a 128 the 1974 year model stock and worn but runs great my craftsman on the other hand is only in name and rears most of it is born outta my head I've got it stretched and threw that ugly hood out got the hood and fenders off a 68 sears dash from a murry the seat is a fiberglass swivel office chair its got a 24hp onan and 23x12x12 nankang lugs it won three pulls back in 98 99 and 00 and retired in good standings would very much like to send my cub to you and have the rears and clutch built to Brian Millers specks by the way I've got the pinto rears waiting for that day also I built a pull sled with a house trailer frame and a ford ranger rearend with a pulley and a shaft turning in a cable to pull the weight box works o.k. but it needs a machinist to finish it wish you would cover the attachment clutch R&R and it might be there and I'm over looking it well that bout covers it have a goodun-------------------------------------------A.D.

We are thinking of putting together a puller and a racer, So any info we can get would be greatly appreciated. Thank You! p.s. Wonderful site and I will be back.

If you are interested I will send them to you with an explanation of the pickup mounting. Thanks for the help. Ken

Comment: This site is great! It is one of the very few sites a guy can get info without being high pressured to get into your wallet. A buddy of mine has annually party-and on a wim,kicked around the idea to have a garden tractor pull. They made a sled out of a old fuel storage tank. As it was pulled down the track we threw logs into it to increase weight[labor intensive] BUT WHAT FUN! About 25-30 tractors showed up. Great Backyard Fun! Last week we got together to discus building a "real" sled. As per your sight info, we went looking for anything to make a sled. I went searching my resources and happened to spot a old manure spreader.This sounds crude,but it has about 75% of everything needed- gear box with chain drive, tires, flat frame,etc. If we get this ridged-up, I will send you a picture. Thanks for a bunch for a great web sight! Tom Miller PS your web sight is on my favorites list and will pass it on to others- chances are great you will get some of our business!

Comment: I just want to say what a big help Brian has been to me with questions and parts for a new pulling tractor. He is truly a big help and I will definitely be calling him more in the future. My brother and I have built our first stock pulling tractor for my nephew and it has done very well. He is only 12 years old and has really enjoyed it. I have just recently bought another tractor to start on our second one to build. We are trying to get this garden tractor pulling really built up down here in the south. We could use all you nothern guys help and maybe we can build up this sport down here. Thanks Brian for all your help and looking forward to doing business with you in the future !! Mike

Comment: I went to a sale a couple of weeks ago and i came across this old cub cadet. it didnt run at the time so my dad and I re wired the whole thing. then we cleaned the carb. and got it running. So we took it down to my dads shop and we are in the process of rebuilding it. And now we got looking one nite and noticed that we needed a throw out bearing. So we are just piceing it together rite now but i think we will restore it.(when we do I will send you a pic) But thanks for all the help. Chris G.

Comment: I'm an American living in England, and running a tree stump grinding business. I have two Carlton stump grinders powered by Kohler engines, one a CH25, and the other a K582. I aquired three more 582's all non runners due to missing parts, but I should be able to make one runner from them. I also have a spare CH25 which is a good runner. I'm looking to source reasonably priced spare parts. I can receive them through the US mail system on a nearby U.S.A.F Base Any ideas would sure be appreciated.

Comment: Great web site! Got an old Cub 102 we have had in the family since 1973, it was a worn out piece of junk then, but we keep patching her up. The transmission keeps popping out of gear and the engine has .020 taper and is bored 30 over, so her days of mowing are done, and if I get this 129 going, her days of plowing snow will be over soon too. I can't quite bear to part with it, but she is well past her useful life as a workhorse. We have a couple of local events every year where the old Cubs come out to play, one in Boring, MD, and another one in Arcadia, MD which is just up the road. Both feature various classes of antique tractor pulls, antique gas and steam engine exhibits, and my favorite, the garden tractor pull in classes from bone-stock to full unlimited modified. A fun time is had by all! My old tractor has pulled everything from cars to trees to a single bottom plow, as well as pushed mounds of dirt and mountains of snow with its blade. I can't think of a better use for it in its retirement than to make it a puller!

Comment: I love your site it has very useful information reguarding tractor pulling and working on kohler engines. I dont do sled pulling like everyone else does on this site we do back-to-back tractor pulling on concrete. It is basically tug of war between 2 tractors and it is really fun and our 'league' is growing pretty good. we have 6 classes that are stock 7-9, stock 10-12, stock 11-22, modified, and outlaw. It is very fun and you should try it some time. (if you do make sure to use a pull strap or a chain you will brake a rope like it is noting)

Comment: This site is the absolute mecca of online small engine info. I can't imagine the hours of work it has taken you to compile and present all this invaluable information in such an orderly and useful manner. And that's only part of the picture - the fact that you're willing to share knowledge that has undoubtedly taken years to glean from trials and errors so that novices such as myself can avoid costly mistakes speaks very highly on your own selfless integrity. Long may you run, Brian Miller!

Comment: Hello I'm David fox, Very nice webpage, You got a good set up. I started pulling tractors in 1990, I built two sleds, They sold the land where we had the track , my sleds are set up a little different from yours , The small sled is about 5,000 lb and the big sled is 12,000 lb our classes went from 700 lb to v8 2,500 lb, i stopped a 3300 ford, If you know anyone who needes them and two sears pulling tractors, ALL for $ 10,000.00. That is what i owe on the big sled , I just would like get out of debt. I do have lots of pictures, if interested, Boath sleds are in perfect working order, thank you David W Fox.

Comment: Dear Mr Miller, After so much research, trying to find a solid state ignition system, an alternative to my stock magneto system i found your website and i thought of thanking you for the awesome abundant info you supply for all of us out here. I have a 1973 Allis Chalmers tractor with a 12 Horse Power B&S cast iron engine and i wanted to know more about this Magnetron Ignition you talk about. I am not sure if this is what i need but because i love this tractor and i hate the ignition system in it i shall keep on learning thanks to you. You talk about a $29.00 complete kit and i think this is what i need right? Either way if you can elaborate through this method, if not i will call you later. Either way it's pretty cool having people like you around helping others. Thank you so much, Dennis.

Comment: dear mr miller, I thourghly enjoy all the information that you have provided in your site to help me improve my tractor. I started last year with a 68 model sears custom belt drive tractor, and a six horse briggs flathead i did average with it. My best pull was 140 feet. i went this year with a 6.5intek witch was all that I could afford. The intek seems to have a whole lot of more power in low gear than the flat head did. Again many thanks to you for your insight into something that is good all the way around. May you be blessed always. sincerly, David A. Stark

Comment: great web site lots of useful info.Built my sled in '05 we pull antique tractors from 3,500 to 10,000 lbs. with no problem. Sled is pull back type HAS AGRONTRONICS on it. it weighs about 9,000 lbs. Had one minor problem last year got talked into having street leagle truck pull just to see what intrest we had. Well 125 trucks showed up, during the last class a very small truck backed up to sled (I think he even had a 4 cyl) hooked him up(I thought this would be a piece of cake even if he could start the sled) When his rear drive shaft came out we had to be running 15 mph. then his drive shaft digs in the ground, picks up the back of the truck pluss front of sled. Sled slams back to ground then slams into back of truck. Then a keyway shered in the driveline so the box with about 12,000lbs in itslams into front of sled. Nothing broke but the keyway. I guss being a certifed welder has its advantages, and it was a wild ride. again this is a great site keep up the good work Dean

It's yellow and white with a 44 inch mower. I bought it back in 1988 and iv always taken care of it. Here is the problem...When I give it full gas or even have way, there is a loud vibration. Is the pressure spring losing it's pressure up against the drive plates? or is it worn out. How can I fix this problem? If you could, please call my cell phone (570) - 878-8494 Thank you, Will

Comment: Trying to find year and model of my Cub cadet. Service personel believe its a 7hp about 1960 But every number I bring them, they tell me it does them no good. It has been painted before I got it. I need parts for it, its very difficult to get good service people that are willing to go that extra mile to find parts that fit a unknown tractor. I hope this page of yours helps, with that. Thanks for all your help pages. I haqve looked at new tractors. They are JUNK, No frame no steering box no real rear end on them no shaft drive. Just belts, springs and no frames JUNK thats what the public is buying now. Thanks

Comment: Great information. We had a 126 that I used as a young boy on our 5 acre farm in Ohio lots of grass to mow from 1974-1982 when I painted/fixed it up and sold it. We bought a Gravely tractor (same size as the 126) which we had for 2 years then moved and sold it too. I am buying a new John Deere x500 for my new place (about 3 acres) and wanted to see how it compared to the old Cub. I think i'm gonna like the Deere (I'm 40 now). Kinda wish we still had the Cub just for fun.

Two friends and I came over to your shop last winter right after the big snow storm that flatened some of your neighbors sheds. You rebuilt a drive shaft for Boone's cub and you machined a rod for bearing inserts for me and I swapped a oil pan for a cub with a deep sump for a flat pan that I could use on my wheelhorse. Well, I have rambled enough, see ya.

Comment: Hope this isnt too far away from guest book rules, Is not meant to be! Was mildly succesful pulling Big Inch HD's on the Easy Riders circuit many years ago. Little brother, nephew and best friend were getting serious about building and pulling Tractors, about the same time.I got transferred and got away from the bikes, and when we lost brother and nephew seems like the tractors they were campaigning,kind of got pushed aside and after Jimmy won some pretty nicespots at years ends,It all kind of ended. Here we are today, I'm retired and so is Jim. He's got two flattop winners left and the trailer ready to go.There have been alot of changes in the intervening years, but we are pretty serious about getting back into it. I told him I'd haul,wrench to my abilities and generally help out and gofer as needed. Since we met 35 years ago upon my military discharge, been through some of the highs and lo's that happen, He knows me better than I know myself and he says Ill have to drive some to keep my sanity and hairbrained theories to myself. He may be correct, those trin Kohlers seem readily adaptable to some of the 80cubic inch tricks from back in the day. This may be as much fun as some of those 70's escapades we don't speak much of in front of the Folk or Grandkids.(or new wives) I may write a comic book about it. It had better be at least good for a belly laugh or Three. Dr Digger Back in KC by way of Chicago and points east' Dr Digger

Comment: Brian, thanks for your information on crank trigger ignition systems. Very informative. I had a question about the wasted spark that occurs at the exhaust stroke. Your website indicated that the GM HEI electronic ignition control module does not do this. All the others do. Is this true? If this was a feature I wanted would it work on an 86 ford engine replacing the blue grommet ignition control module with the GM HEI module. Thanks, Michael

Comment: Brian Miller's web site has been a great help for all. When I got interested in the sport, I went to the computer looking for info. To my surprise I found his site and all the information I needed to get started was there. The biggest help was the detail on fitting a dodge rear into a cub. I went to the salvage yard and got a rear end for $40.00 and did the machine work at home. To make a long story short without all the info on that page, I would have had very little direction on what was most important to get started at all. I certainly have to thank him for the start. With his help and a lot of trial and error we've made it to the level of success I hoped to achieve. Up to this point I've done this for my kids and have had a great time building and teaching them how to build and maintain the tractors. The kids have proven to me that they are great sportsman, win or lose. There was no better way to spend my time and money, its been priceless. And now with our 1st mod finished and the diesel in the works I plan to join in the fun. I plan to send Brian a little to help, I know the economy is tough for everyone and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity and support to be part of it all. We've met many great people and would hope to meet Brian in person as well someday. Hoping everyone has a safe & enjoyable pulling season.

Comment: Hi Brian, I just want to say thanks for your web site, it is so informative! I am also very glad to hear that you are a Christian! I have a lot of the same interests as you have listed, and I am only a year younger than you. I need to keep this short,so I'll get right to the point. I am buying running 12HP a gear drive 128 Cub Cadet this weekend to start a total rebuild for next years pulling season. I found your web site while searching for information on the sport. I have a complete hobby machine shop with full size machines. I am very mechanically inclined, I built my current hydraulic loader tractor that I use to work around my property,from scratch, about 6 years ago. It is about the size of a B21 Kubota loader tractor. I grew up on the farm, when my Dad retired, I moved on to be an Electrical Automation Engineer. I cannot get the farmer completely out of me, no matter how far away I get from it, and I always enjoyed pulling farm tractors. I've attended a few local garden tractor pulls lately, and have gotten hooked to it. I want to build a 16 HP altered stock puller with this tractor in the end, I don't know if I should push the limits on the stock class first to get experience or not. I don't think I want to go pro stock, it just costs to much. I am the only income in the house,I love my wife very much, she is my best friend and I don't want to cause problems, so I have to place a limit on how far I will try to go. I know that I will become bored with stock, so I am hoping that the fact that I can make a lot of my external and hopefully some engine parts, it will allow me to save some money so I can pay guys like yourself to help out in the engine area. I am not afraid to build my own engine, I have more experience in automotive engine rebuilds. I know that you know all the tricks with the Kohler, so I will need some assistance up front. I am like you in the way that I like to do as much as possible myself though, that is most of the fun of it for me! Thanks again, Dave Patches

Comment: I have never contacted you before but have read and re-read your site many times. My son and I have been involved in some type of mechanized sport for many years. Trails, racing and now pulling. We started out with a Bolens tractor that I used for dragging cut trees. Given its small size, it was just the ticket for working in thick wooded areas. It wasn�t long before I realized just how much muscle these little machines had. But recently through some horse trading (literally) I found myself in possession of a Sears Suburban with a 16 HP Onan engine. Since it was a former puller we decided to bring it back to life and see what it could do. This weekend it will be doing duty at the "Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show" in Geargetown Ohio. Since this is our first expedition I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wealth of information you provided. Without it we would not be able to enjoy the sport. I especially appreciate your layout on the adjustable pulling hitch. Since our time was short we decided to build our own from your plans. Last night there was a pile of steel on the floor, today we have a puller hitch build to your specs. It�s great to be joining a sport where someone like you is willing to share your knowledge and good will to help newbies like us get involved.

Comment: Brian, my Father-In-Law and I are building a 1969 Cub Cadet 72 for my kids to play with. I can remember mowing grass with this one on my Dad's farm when I was a kid. We don't plan to go all out at first, but I'm sure we will use your advise and possibly purchase some parts from you along the way. Thanks for everything.

Comment: brian. i have an old cadet, no fenders, K161 engine. an old man gave it to me and after 12 years, i got it running good. your website is a blessing and the 38"? cut is working fine. i need a lift handle top end pushbutton is not there. just a spring sticking out. and front end is loose. anyway, we thank you for your generous advice. i will make a list of items that you may have that i will need. but i put you in my computer list and might wait till after mowing slows down. thanks again!!!

Comment: Brian I see a tremendous amount of work and research on your part and I thank you for sharing it. I have three tractors. IHC model 70, model 1450 and a '73 Ford 1200. I would like to convert the model 70 or the Ford to a puller. I'm a gearhead by birth. Retired from drag racing and would like a hobby that cost a little less and takes up less room. Thanks again Bob

Comment: Brian, my name is John Figg, I live in Sullivan, Indiana and sure do enjoy your site. I have been visiting your site since nitro was legal and the weight transfer sled was guys in bib overalls stepping on as it passed 'em. I started pulling, or what was at that time thought of as pulling in 1976. A wheel horse named "Ol Blue." Painted the same color as my best friend's pick up truck, had to look good, you know. We ran a Theriac bottom adjust carb, a 10 horse Kohler with the jug bolted down with all thread through a plate over the head all the way through the frame, a clutch spring off of my dad's 494a John Deere planter and all the Cox model airplane fuel we could buy at Tindalls 5&10 store. The tires were borrowed from Jerry "tiny" Smith, 26 x 12 x 12 Firestones and to finish it all off we had window weights tied all over the thing and a header pipe made out of a sump pump riser tube. The fire extinguisher was usually a big glass of Mountain Dew carried by my best friend and the rpm limit was when she wouldn't wind up any tighter. (It's a wonder we are all alive yet today). Things have changed over the years. My friend and I both have wonderful wives now and our priorities have changed.Long gone are the walk on sleds, Wheel horses named "Ol Blue" and spending countless hours trying to save enough money for Cox fuel. We no longer rush over to the other ones house after chores are done just to set and dream of bigger tires and those big cam kohlers the older guys are pulling..... We now have a weight transfer sled, pull Cubs and run "legal" fuel...... You get the picture If you would like to see the "Ol Blue' tractor in action check out the www.scgtp.com pulling web site. (1977 pic?) I do not expect you to publish the story unless you just can,t help yourself, just thought you might find it interesting that another 48 year old is still getting hooked on pulling.....by the way , if you look in the far corner of my shop building under a big old Bee Gee,s blanket you will see a 1968 Wheel Horse painted 1970's Chevy truck blue with the smell of nitro still in the tank. I bet with a little tender touch she will still run...........Hope my grandson , named Kevin just like my best friend I started pulling with, enjoys it when he is old enough to get "hooked on pulling".....

Comment: Brian, I just wanted to let you know that the K301 that I just rebuild really sounds good. I had you grind the crank for it and you gave me some performance tips. I'm well-pleased with it. It is on a Case 222. I might need to call it a 224 because I think it picked up a couple ponies. Again Thanks, Terry Tilmon, Bootheel Tool & Machine
