Since pulling and racing are so popular I decided to start searching some of the performance parts suppliers. I talked to a company this morning that sells billet H beam connecting rods with an automotive style bearing, I can get the rods with the bearing for $125 each, not bad considering new standard rods from Briggs are $100 each. These rods are good to 6,000rpm and he said that unless I do something stupid like run the engine out of oil that these rods will never break and they should last forever if all I'm doing is mowing at 3,600 rpm. It's a bit pricey but when I'm done I should have a bullet proof engine that will last a good while. I have a deal going on right now for a tractor I'm selling and if all goes well I will have the money to start ordering parts.
