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.

The Reason Certain Parts Have A Superseded Part Number -
When President Nixon was in office, he placed a price freeze on all products
being manufactured in the US at the time. The manufacturers couldn't raise
their prices even if it cost them more to produce their parts. What happened
was the government placed the freeze on the part number of each part. So
manufacturers gave their parts a different number so they could raise the
prices.
