So...my boy has one C and is bound and determined to have a pulling tractor. I'm thinking (very long term) about finding another C and making it a puller. Aside from the turbo'd CA here, does anyone pull a C? What does it take to make it competitive, engine work, tires, weight classes, etc? He'd love to turbo one for the fun of it. I've thought about a WD with the Keystone kit. Maybe an unstyled WC with a Keystone. For now...whats required to get a C down the track and be in the running. AaronSEIA |

I have a Single Front Wheel CA I built for Pulling for sale if your interested. I believe a stock engine CA is hands down more of a pulling tractor than a stock C. Longer wheelbase and a 4 speed tranny has its advantages. I have weighted up this CA to #4500 and won this class against some serious competition of all colors with a well tuned stock engine in first gear . Plenty power enough to spin out way before powering out. If you have completion in #2500 class you can lighten up a CA to be very competitive in this light weight class. |

I'd second shopping for a CA (or buy Ken's ready to go) to pull with for all the reasons mentioned above. Although if you must pull the C that you have, what is the lightest weight class in you area? You can get a C to 2000 pounds and be a winner without doing any engine upgrades. In lighter classes, balance will be more important than power. once you get to the 3000 pound class a WC will be more competitive without spending money. The heavier the weight the more you need to spend, unless you want to be a big fish in a very small pond.
------------- 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 |

You got to look at what the color of the competition is in your area. You are not going to be pulling against just orange tractors. Don't think for a minute that a Red Super C won't pull. 24" rims are not as good as 36" rims under average track conditions. |

We ran our stock CA against a modded C for a season. They could'nt keep the front end on the ground even with weight on the front at 11ft. It ran well but did'nt handle well at all ! As was said, shop for a CA, like Ken's, less headaches and more funnerest!!! Dan
