126

Those are both 126's. Or at least could have been.... I'd say they were, because of the decals. But they are NOT 128's. The frame is a 1X6/7.

Go get them, and sell them. Then buy another machine and make a puller out of it. Or offer them for trade for a less rare gear drive.

crude set of rules. if you unhook the governor you need a steel flywheel. you need proper shrouding around moving parts. stock rods don't hold up to open revs. if I were you I would find a little bit more of a professional group with better rules. if someone took a 16 and were dumb enough to take the governor off and run it with a stock rod and flywheel you would get your butt kicked till his engine either broke a rod or broke a flywheel. if the flywheel broke and someone got hurt the club would probably no longer exists. members of the club could be held responsible for anyone that gets hurt.

Post the SN's off those tractors. That way you will find out if there are 126/128's.

pretty obvious from the photos that they can't be 128's?

Frame on the 1X6/7's is different than the 1X8/9's. Look at the machine itself. They are the same.

I agree with Don. Doesn't look like the guys making your rules have any idea what they are doing. Maybe best to find another club. Sounds like someone is going to get hurt.

I agree with Don. There is no way I would pull with a club with a set of rules like that. They probably claim those rules are to keep the cost down. However, breaking connecting rods is not cheap.

Or exploding flywheels....

That's a matter of safety. In my opinion any pulling tractor should have a steel flywheel regardless of RPM being turned. It's cheap insurance.

I just really get a kick out of some clubs with rules like these say "we're trying to keep the cost down". However in reality they don't have a clue what actually keeps the cost down.
