chris11 184 #7 Posted April 7, 2012 very nice, what chassis did you use? Cub cadet 100? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmalott24 52 #8 Posted April 7, 2012 It has a custom built chassis. The only part on the tractor that is cub is the rear end housing. The clutch is a VW and all the gears are aftermarket. Thanks for the nice comments. I enjoy the tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmalott24 52 #9 Posted April 7, 2012 A couple more. I run NIP when I have the time, but I didn't get out much last year. Hopefully I can hit more tracks this year. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #10 Posted April 7, 2012 The IGTPA schedule should be coming out real soon. We normally have a pretty good turn out of super stocks. Maybe I'll run into you this year. Keep an eye out for this one, it's mine. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deere Hunter 54 #11 Posted April 7, 2012 Glad to see this puller is still around, looked it over the other year at Columbus. It's one sharp tractor! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmalott24 52 #12 Posted April 7, 2012 Frustration should be the name of my tractor right now. I think I am battling a fuel pump that needs to be rebuilt. A little more time and I think I'll have him running well. I am also looking to update the rear-end as well. A 24-25-26-27 without a straight axle. The looked rear works well inside, but it makes it a handful on an uneven (varying traction) track! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmalott24 52 #13 Posted April 7, 2012 Columbus is a great pull. The last time I ran there, we ran pretty well, but unfortunately I overloaded the front and never really got hooked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The looked rear works well inside, but it makes it a handful on an uneven (varying traction) track! The name "Frustration" describes my first season pulling. I was pretty sure I could be competitive in the class I was running with a belt drive Wheel Horse, I was wrong. I built the Cub out of frustration. Oh well, at least it's Wheel Horse red. I was the points champion with our club in my class the first year I pulled with this tractor. I run a Dodge Dart carrier and axles, it's held up well and is pretty easy to steer by shifting my weight. It's not locked ( our rules won't allow it) but it still digs two holes in the end of the track if I can pick the right gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmalott24 52 #20 Posted April 18, 2012 Know of anyone wanting to get rid of a rear end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #21 Posted April 18, 2012 Not right off hand but if I hear of one I'll send you a PM. Our schedule is out, we're starting late this year, June 8th, but it's non stop after that. There are 6 pulls in June alone, 21 altogether and they usuall add a couple after the season starts. My diesel bill for the truck is going to be ugly this year.

gmalott24 52 #23 Posted April 18, 2012 That's scary. Now you see why I want to build a new rear. I'd rather not take a ride like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
