Thanks KS IH puller for the information. What size tires do you have on the rear? And what did you put on the front. I just weighted mine its 6300 lbs with me on it. What else did you do to get it to 5500 lbs. Thanks

I'm running 16.9 x 34s on the rear. I've got 5.50 x 15 on the front. I used a 4.5" x 5 bolt traler hub on the front. The outer bearing fit perfectly on the spindles outer bearing part. I just machined another place for an inner bearing to runon the existing spindle between the inner and outer. This allows me to still run the original if I need to. Measure carefully so you can get your grease cover on your hub over the nut and spindle. I'm running mid 80s Pontiac Bonneyville space saver spare wheels (which have the 4.5" 5 bolt pattern) with a set of 5.50 x 15 triribs.
As far as where I lost the rest of my wieght. The later models had a tin radiator as apposed to the cast iron you ned to find the lighter version. I'm not running any fenders and I only kept a portion of the floor foot rest on the right side for the brake return spring. I removed the PTO and used the mounting area for my adjustable hitch. I also removed belt pulley, hydraulics and other unnessesary stuff. I wiegh 250# and the tractor wieghs 5420 - 5500# with me on it depending on the scales some of our local portable scales wiegh us kind of light.I'm right at 5500 on a certified COOP scales. Good Luck

I got the original cast hubs off the axle which was a job in itself. I plasma cut the center out to the outside diameter of a normal nine bolt hub and then drilled and tapped out the nine bolt holes. This can tend to get a little expensive. I've been pulling my nine for the last 5 years. I've seen a lot of hubs adapted to the spined axle but this seemed to me to be a stronger option. Good luck! You don't see many of them pulling which makes them fun and a challenge.

Kansas puller can you tell me more about your ride?
I'm currently trying to build a bigger cube engine and i'm trying to decide on what to run for intake, carb, ect. What tire size do you run?
Do you have the stock motor or is it bigger?

KEV

I pull my 9 in Div 2. We mostly run NATPA rules in Central Kansas. I start out in the 5500# and also pull 6000# and 6500#. I generally pull in 2nd gear in the first 2 classes and drop to first in the 6500 depending on the track. I'm still running the stock 335 cu in motor. I've had the tractor together for three seasons and haven't changed it much. I've found the W-9 a hard tractor to balance. The motor is so heavy and so far forward. It seems that if you can get it to grab the track and transfer from the front to the back the tractor is hard to beat but if it doesn't it's going to be a long day.
Have you been pulling a W-9? Where are you from?
I don't have any pictures on this computer but when I get a chance I'll send you a couple pictures. As far as the intake to use. I'm running stock however I've got 2 650 LP tractors and they have manifolds similar to the 450 LP so if your running bigger classes this might be an option. Good luck finding one though.
Delmar Rathje in Nebraska has got a bigger inch W-9 and he has expressed the same inconsistant luck with his.
Good luck!
