hey everybody I've got a wc puller that i pull stone boat with. i weigh 2950 with me on it and have cast centers. i had the wild idea of seeing if i can make it in the local 2500 pound class. just curious if anybody has done it or tips such as (use a ca front end) or something like that. its got .125 flat tops win 45 crank. big carb and lots of fuel. i think i can dominate the 2500 pound class if i can get that light. any input is helpful. thanks

Not cheap, but it can be done, RC rear end, or the guts in a light WC rear end (39 or early 40) tin wheels or lightened cast centers, aluminum frame rails and a few other parts will easily get you in there. You will also need to pay attention to tire weight, they vary a lot.

Years ago someone did that here locally. They use a set of 28" spokes with tubeless tires and made aluminum frame rails along with only a very small car radiator.  It still needed a driver of less that 100 pounds and would overheat if it ran more than the length of the track. If you're running a 2500 pound class with no extra allowed weight a CA is very tough to beat for any kind of pulling.
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Sometimes, stripping them down doesn't work as good as you think. When you're right at the edge on weight, it's hard to balance a tractor.

I agree with PaulB. If you want to pull 2500, a CA is your best bet.

I have pulled a styled WC with pressed steel 24" wheels at 3000 lbs. Transfer sled not dead weight, but this tractor was poorly balanced. It was way better at 3500.
