    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 at 9:17pm
Going Bareback like my CA except when I pulled off the C PTO the main shaft looses its back end support.  Flops around like crazy.   Don't feel comfortable with just a delete plate like my CA with a sloppy main shaft. Even the input splined end that goes in the clutch flops.    I know the input end won't flop when in the clutch
    Want to get rid of the heavy cast wheels .   What make stamped steel wheels have the same 5 hole bolt circle?   Maybe a Farmall Cub or  MF pony
     My CA was easy to make lighter by swapping out the stock wheels and power adjust  rims using Farmall A 6 hole stamped wheels ( same as AC D 10 and others ) with 11 inch wide 4 loop rims.  
      I have a pair of Jap Yellow  Deere 11 inch X24  without  loops.  Should bolt right up to a thin wheel.    What wheel does a Deere use?

Sounds like the rear transmission bearing in your C is shot. A Farmall Cub’s wheels may be close, but if nothing else will have smaller holes. You will most likely have to get a set of plates to match the bolt pattern and weld thm into whatever centers you wish to use. How light do you want to get?
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

2500
     With the heavier than a B finals I still should get the C down. I put another hole in my belt. I was 200 plus now 165 or 170
      I have a 1/2 dozen or so C trannies to try for a good one. I kinda figured something in the one I was testing was shot.   The test tranny was out of a scrap C. Haven't checked the C I'm building yet. When I drove it out the tranny was quiet as a mouse in all gears. I will pull its PTO today.  Going to need another  PTO Delete Cover or make one.
      Designing a drawbar is my next Question
      With all my projects I wonder why  I' m Starting another.

MY CA long pin hitch Drawbar fixed at 20 inches.    Took the water out of the rears and droped the wheel weights.  Easy 2500 pounds. The 3 1/2 mph speed limit where I can pull hurts.  No class for hot rodding around here. Something about INSURANCE won't let us do EXHIBITION PULLS.
    I can still hang weights and pull 3000 and 3500. Getting the balance front to rear is the trick

I have some more PTO delete covers. I can’t remember if I have the B/C type or just the D10/12 type. Why not put a C front on a B rear? Although a B whishbone is lighter than a C tricycle assembly. I’ve never had a problem with getting a B to 2000 pounds, I’ve even had a CA at 2000 pounds and was told “Don’t ever bring that tractor back here”.   Cub and Pony owners get testy when they don’t get a 🏆. What sore loosers they can be🙀

Paul
    I get tickled every time you post about sore loosers getting whipped by a Allis. In these parts nobody has showed up with a 2000 puller yet . Lucky to have more than 1 puller in 2500.
     The way YOU set up a little puller you can compete well  running in a higher weight class. Like a 500 pound handicap means nothing to you.
     A while back when I was running in 4500 with my CA and allowed to make 3 hooks It did well in 5000 weighing 4500.  Those days of tossing heavy weights around are over.
     I remember outpulling a local hero on his H in 4500. Not by much but enough for everybody to see. He and everyone else are still scratching their heads.   They made me weigh again.
      If you have a B/C pto delete let me know how much.

 Ken, know what you mean about sore losers.    I pull my ugly unpainted, rusty WC in the 3750 farm stock many times beating WD's/WD45's with a d17 motor 38 inch tires and fancy paint jobs. They can not under stand how I can beat them most of the time.

I don't understand why you need to loose weight to get a C to 2500#  ? What do you think it weighs stock ?
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Terry Deans Data book gives a C the weight of 2200 pounds and a CA at 2850.  CA is 650 pounds heavier than a C . Hard to figure where the CA gains that much over a C. Wheels and tires should be lighter than a C or close to it. The CA centers are stamped steel offset by heavier power adjust rims.

Don't forget, the CA is a foot longer, has one more gear, all the hyd pump stuff, the hand clutch, and that big metal platform under the seat.

Anybody beside PaulB pull or ever pulled a C in Farm Stock or Otherwise?   The pic Paul sent me of his SFW C with the front wheel 3 feet in the air and no wheelie bars looked scarry.
     I found a extra pair of 13-6 24s on 11" rims hiding behind a bunch of rollers to play with.  Water is the cheapest added weight money can buy.
