Tanker toy 1 #1 Posted June 23, 2017 Just getting back into pulling. I ran and older c-120 years ago. Will a 312-8 make a good starter tractor for my son to start with? And will the uni drive tranny hold up to beginner pulling and how far can I go before I. Have to beef it up? Thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxed500 10 #2 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) hello. I'm using a 308-8 with a 14 hp kohler stock with a milled head. I still is a great stock puller for me with no ugly gremlins popping up yet. I have heard of the plate that the transmission bolts to can crack, at this time mine doesn't have that issue. I had to use a different fuel tank and location for it due to my pulling hitch interfering with the under seat-pan fuel tank.I enjoy pulling it as it just feels like it was made to do just that. Hope your son enjoys pulling it. Also this site can be useful: Introduction to the Sport of Garden Tractor Pulling! There is a lot of love for cub cadets there, but engine stuff is useful..
