I'm wanting to get started
OK here is the deal. there are some antique power clubs around here that pull tractors but not many that do garden tractors. I talked to one of owners and they are going to start doing the small tractors soon! I always wanted to build one. I have a decent cub 122 with a good k301. the carb needs cleaned and the gas tank need sealed as its rusty and Ive tried several times to clean it with acid etc. Thats all minor stuff I can take care of. anyways the engine was a NOS replacement and has a walbro carb on it and besides needing fine tuned, should be a good engine to get started with in a stock class. I have a set of 23in true powers I can donate to the project. I really have no idea where to get started with this build. I havent even gotten a list of the rules yet. I dont want to heavily modify this tractor as its a pretty nice. But honestly it just sits around and Id rather cut it up and use it then let it collect rust. I am thinking about picking this rough 108 up thats in a local scrap yard. I can get it for 75 bux. its pretty rough and the 8hp is stuck. should make a good puller tho. But for now I want to have fun with my 122 NOW. Where can I buy or get info on building wheelie bars and do I need a adjustable hitch for the rear?? lm so green it hurts.... my little girl loves these things and she enjoys going to the big tractor pulls! so I figure its something we could get started in. She already has her own sears custom garden tractor haha. also the weight class i would pull in does that include driver weight too? im a big guy, 300lbs plus depending on time of year haha. here is a pic of my 122 and the 108 thats in the scrap yard.
