Thompson1276 256 #1 Posted March 18, 2023 Just had a idea and I decided to do it I put a HH100 Tecumseh big block on my 856 originally had a k181 8 horse small block kohler that I had laying around it popped wheelies in 3rd I have yet to get a belt the stores are closed till Monday but she runs and all with the larger front pulley being double the size I bet she’ll be a little bit quicker too I got a 6 speed transaxle I’m rebuilding now to put in it too to make a short frame hot rod in a way 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The larger engine pulley needed just a little clearancing of the front of the belt guard to work. She a had a 3 speed transmission. Top speed just over 10 MPH which is about 4 MPH faster than stock. 6 speed transmission won't make you faster but it'll be a handy worker with low range and Limited Slip Differential. We're installing one as well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s cool and yeah speed isn’t my goal but I’ll see what she does with this 3 first I kinda need a Low and High for what imma use it for 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The HH100 doesn't put out 12V and it isn't original to the tractor so we're swapping out the engine back to the Kohler 8 HP. All that's in the Military Tribute Tractor thread. She has a 1045 which is a short frame big block!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d love to put a k341 in it or something crazy but it barely fit this Hh100 so I’m ok with it for now I might later but for recharging idk if it recharges yet or not I need to wire it to recharge now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,619 #8 Posted March 19, 2023 1075 Only thing custom on it are the decals and painting the deck black , the stack muffler and the baby moon hubcaps. Can add one more word to the sweet sound of Big Block, Short Frame..... Automatic !!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
