I am still working on My W-9 for pulling. I have the weights mounted on front and rear. Now for another question-- Wheelie Bars. Does anyone here pulla W-9 and have mounted wheelie bars on it. The NATPA rulls states that wheelie bars canot be mounted to the drawbar in any way or form. Are wheelie bars REALY needed on a W-9 at all??? I have two wheel weights on each rear wheel, and four 100lb suitcase weights on the rear deck, also have made a front weight bracket and have two 100lb weights on it. Thanks for any help you can spare. TR

Texas Red pull insurers seem to think wheelie bars are essential,and I've seen some good running W-9's get up in the air,if you got the power and bite she will come up,and I don't think you will want a W-9 on top of you or you head and back pinned against the headboard of the sled my two cents worth Gman

I have seen a couple of platform tractors that mounted the wheelie bars right to the platform supoort irons.

I have pulled my WD-9 a few times, just in the stock class, I don't have any weight added or anything turned up (except the pump). I mounted "wheelie bars" on the drawbar, I don't think there is any other option. I could send you a rough schematic of my system if it would help.

Good luck.

I have a WD9 and I pull in 8-9 class and dont have wheelie bars the trick to a 9 is getting your weights set up. play around with it it took me a while to set mine up.

Don't know where you will pull at, but most all clubs and pulls require wheelie bars anymore. I guess I would suggest that you get a copy of the rules of where you will be pulling. The wheelie bars are for your protection as well as the safety of the fans and volunteers working the pull. You never know what can happen. deadeye

I dont know if this is any help but pul tractors regularly and ive seen a couple w-9's pull in like the 8 or 9 thousand pound classes and their front came of the track about a foot in the air but never any higher.

Thanks for the reply, I agree on the safty of the wheelie bars. I have all the steel and brackets ready. Has any one ever put bars on a W-9, With the platforms that are on the tractor, there is no place to mount the bars execpt to the drawbar, Does anyony have plans on how to mount them. Thanks again for any help you can give. TR
