I'm in the process of transferring
this Harrington Mfg Co creeper gear
from this tractor to one of my own.
I found an old post online from
another forum and wanted some advice
if possible about it if you see this
post. There used to be many of these
contraptions in use here locally
about cropping tobacco.
Unfortunately, there's only 1 person surviving locally that remembers bits and pieces about it. Many details have been lost to time about them here. Thanks in advance..

What do you want to know, about the most worthless contraption ever dreamed up unless you just need to go slow for as you said. Any load and the belt will slip. Engine drives the big drive down the side then back in at the PTO. I never saw one that lasted any time.
 
What I'm trying to find out is there was a double groove pulley on the crankshaft used on all of the tractors that used this style creeper gear locally. This from what I've been told eliminates the belt slippage from where it receives power from the crank because it isolated it from the fan and water pump belt and they were able to actually tighten it up. The question is, what machine/ tractor engine or better yet, a part number, did the double groove pulley come from to fit a 123 ci engine like the 140's had ?
 
I have a BN that has a U2A Power Unit engine in it, that has a double-belt pulley. I'm not sure if that's what you're after, hopefully that points you in the right direction.
 
Thank you Redram. I have been hitting dead ends on this double groove pulley thing. Everything left running locally now has the original single groove, except for the one in the photos. The gentleman that owned this tractor appears to somehow made this one back in the 60's. He has recently passed away so that knowledge is lost. All of the old timers used to tell me they would get down and go on a tight belt ran from a double pulley. I'm needing to get slow enough to pull a transplanter and a vegetable picker, but buying another tractor is not an option.
 
I had a paving machine that was factory built onto a 140. It ran a hyd pump off the front of the crank. Then had a hyd motor mounted on the PTO shaft. It was basically a hydrostat with 4 ranges. You would lock the clutch down, engage the pto, put it in one of the gears, then open a hyd valve from the pump and the tractor would crawl. My memory is a little foggy but thats basically it.
 
Tracy this is essentially the same thing yours had albeit this one is all mechanical. Do you have any pictures by chance of how the pump mounted to the crankshaft ? I'm open for any ideas.
