Broke the pulling tractor

[cubcadet]

yea i agree, i also should watch wheel weights on the axels although they were ok, i will change the weights around too

[cubcadet]

so how do i gear this thing down, will a creeper gear prevent it from losing power, or do i need a bigger engine

[austin8214]

What are the rules for the class you pull in? Without knowing the rules it's hard for us to help you.

[cubcadet]

only rule is you need wheelie bars, we pull a dead sled with concrete blocks up to almost 4000lbs

[austin8214]

So there is no rules in regards to engine hp or size.

Cheapeast easiest way to gear it down is put a shorter tire on it.... and don't use a creeper for two reason. One being itd be a major weak point as they were designed to just slow it down. Two being it makes your third gear slower then your current first gear.

[cubcadet]

I have never seen one with smaller back tires I would need other rims and alot of people use creepers for pulling in our club and u have to have a garden tractor so I'm assuming u can't have too much horse power but alot of them are 10 12hp one is 14 and one is a 1606 cub cadet but I don't know what engine I think I will just get a fine spline carrier and axels but do I need to measure the teeth on it to install it

[Mainecubcadet108]

Just remember if you get a 2 piece fine spline carrier you have to change ring gears.The one in a 2 piece is straight cut and the one in your cub now is curved cut.

[cubcadet]

do i need a cast iron ring gear

[Mainecubcadet108]

Use the ring gear off the carrier that broke if its still good.If not you need to find one like the one that came out of the carrier that broke.
