Super 88 in the 4500?

Chris5 · Feb 15, 2015

How light have you guys gotten your Super 88 gas tractors down to? I just picked up a Super 88 Id like to set up for pulling and pull in the 4500 class, and have it weight about 4150 or less if possible. I want to run tin wheels and probably 16.9 38 tires. It has the slow gears in it. Is it worth switching the 66 narrow front on it?

I have seen numerous oliver 88s pull in 4000#. should not be much of a problem doing 4500

I pull against a Super 88 Diesel in the 4200, it runs 12.4's.

Start out with tin wheels on the front and rear. If you need to loose more, take out the PTO, belt pulley drive and hydraulic unit it it's equipped with them.

I doubt that you will benefit from the 66 front pedestal. Around here on hard biting tracks, tough sleds, etc. you will need the weight on the nose to keep it down.

I can do 4500 with my 88, tin rears, factory cast fronts, hydraulics fenders and all. 15.5-38s.
