Question

[cubby102]

Imho it would be easier and prolly cheaper to just find a gear drive cub to drop your engine into instead of putting all the gear drive parts into your hydro

Where can i find one

Check with the sponsors at the top. With shipping costs, you would be better off finding a "junk" tractor for cheap and pulling the trans. You will probably have to "part" it together buying from different places.

On a side note.
It is clear that you intend to go through with this project. But it sounds as though you need to do a little more research. If you plan to pull, you need to get with your local club and get the "rules". If not, you may build a tractor that they won't even let compete. Instead of spending a bunch of money for nothing, do the leg work and build it right. Otherwise, your going to end up spending too much, and being disappointed. If you plan to get into a hobby, at least have a clue what your getting into.

^^This X 2! I wish I had all of the money back I have wasted building or buying something that did not fit the rules.

Yeah and if it doesnt pull well ill just sell it and get a different tractor. And I need to find a tractor pulling group 4h is doing it. And im new to tractor pulling so i guess i will need to find out who runs 4h tractor pulling.

IsaacSchuller,

You should dump the green tractor on your sig. Cub Cadets are IH tractors. IH's are RED! You might offend someone! LOL

You're part way through redoing this tractor, I would sell it when you're done and get a few extra bucks then when you started. Then go get a decent gear drive that will let you get going in the stock class with little to no work.

But you sound young and will probably pull it anyway. Have fun, that's why everyone is there. Take the advice gsomersjr gave in an earlier post and learn as much as you can from the regulars and if your enthusiastic about it I'm sure they will help you out. If you like it, take the time to build something that works.

And yes im young im 16 and being i put a lot of time into this project ill finish it and try pulling with it. And if it doesn't do well then ill just use it for something else. And either modify the tractor or ill just get another one.
