1952 A

run across this A and would like to use it to pull havnt weighed it so i have no idea. of the weight. heard around 5500.# west ga 2 cyl highly recomends wheelie bars and kill switch. i have neither. dont even have a way to get it to where the pull will be held.but i got the tractor and thats a start.ther is a pull coming up middle of april i took the lift arms off about half way up. not lookin to spend alot.probably have to make something for the wheelie bars, any suggestions...never had the oppertunity to be in a pull. always wanted to since i was a kid. lived on a farm had a 48 B and a 52-60. dad would never let us .so that's been on my bucket list for a couplr yrs now ..

if u use the 11 ft rule does that make it a modified class

usually 11ft is for modified classes and 10ft is for farmstock you definitely need wheelie bars and some form of weight bracket a good belly bracket will help a lot on that tractor and with a creeper gear you shouldnt choke it up to about 7500lbs i would say your gonna be pushing 6000 with you on it

have no nidea what a belly bracket is

I pulled a 52 A in 5,500 thru 7,500 pound classes. No 3pt. added front weight bracket,wheelie bars and 15.5x38 tires on 14" wide rims and it weighed 5,360 pounds. Also made brackets to put 4020 wheel weights (sometimes up to 6 sets)on the stock cast centers. What ever you do have fun and be safe.

send me an email and ill send u some pics of my rear and front brackets for weights and belly bar aswell, how ever i have not made bars yet

A belly bracket is a weight bracket that mounts to the frame below the block. It is used to hold more weight and distribute weight in another area. We have one that was on ours if ur interested

get rid of the 3 pt and if the tires are dry then you are 5500 lbs. Up to you, but I wouldn't get excited about wheelie bars just yet. Leave your drawbar a little long. Not too long. If it is longer than the radius of the wheels, then you will most likely see the stock drawbar flexing. However, a little bit long is good for beginners. it acts as a rudder to keep the tractor straight. Also, if/when the front lifts, the drawbar drops faster and controlls the front lift. If you have never pulled before, chances are when the front lifts, you will get scared and throttle back or pull the clutch long before you are in a bad spot. It feels higher than you really are. get a ring cut out of 1" plate steel to bolt to your drawbar. This is good and solid. Shim it up to your max allowable height. Try 7.5 to 9 psi in your tires. Make a simple angle iron bracket to hold suitcase weights to bolt to the front of the tractor, and same idea for the front and/or rear of the back axle. Just a guess, but try 200 - 300 lbs on the front end, and the rest to bring you up to weight on the back axle. Borrow some weights for the first few pulls till you get going on your own. You can spend a lot of money in this sport, but you can also spend very little, and still participate and have fun. Don't worry about beating the competition. Try to beat yourself. Weight placement, setup, and driving technique. If you can keep doing better than the last time, then you know that you are getting to be a better puller.

a belly bar is a bracket to hold suitcase weights bolted to the frame mid way. It hangs down and runs accross under the "belly" of the tractor. Just a place to add more weights when going up a class.

Good luck and have fun!

was urs on an A and i live in west ga, where are you

I pull a 51 A from 5500 to 8500 and I have a pretty good setup on my tractor with wheelie bars and everything that is needed I just cut my stock drawbar off at the legal measurements (18" from the center of the rear axle welded on a good D ring then cut a hole in the stock hitch mount under the drawbar about a 1" hole then welded a 1" nut to the under side of the hitch mount got a grade 8 bolt and screwed in it and now I have an adjustable hitch and it works great I can send you pics of it if you need them but its pretty simple but becareful tho tractor pulling is addictive I started with one tractor now I have three lol

Yea it was on an A with pressed steel frame. We r in south eastern ohio. If you felt like paying shipping for it id take $50 for it

Belly brackets aren't usually used until you are going up by more than 1000 lbs. So you could wait and do that when you need it.
