im a puller to and i wanted to know how or where u get u hoods from im trying to find a case ih magnum body like urs but i don't have any luck finding one.

Ebay or dealer warranty take offs. I got mine for free, some hoods get scratched and the dealers replace them under warranty. It helps to know people at the dealerships that will dumpster dive for you when that happens.

Iam starting a build on a diesel puller and i was wondering what size turbo are you useing and where to get one?

I have a friend in the States who pulls. As well as V8s he also uses electric.

Here he is doing a couple of pulls.

The cub has a 9" motor an he is now building one with a 13" motor.

And here is his build partner doing a pull.

I am also thinking of building an electric pulling tractor. I have already built an electric tractor to experiment with and broken the axle gears with just a 7" motor so I am getting a stronger axle. I have just bought a Wheelhorse transaxle that I can do a fairly straight forward swap with but also I have a 4 ton capacity forklift axle and 13" motor unit that might just get a pulling tractor built around it.

Depends on the engine and what you are doing to it. Direct injection engine or indirect. Garrett GT12 & GT15 are popular in the 60-75 cube 3 cylinders. Mitsubishi TD02 twin scroll works well and is a whole different approach.

Ebay or any good Diesel Service company sells them.

How did you go about getting oil to the turbo and do i need to anything to be able to handle the turbo such as better head studs ect.?

Take a feed from the oil pressure gage port. Drill & tap hole in side of block for drain back or weld fitting on oil pan.

We run 40#+ of boost so things have to be done to control heat and pressure. How far you want to go depends on your wallet. Stay under 20# or so and things get much cheaper but you won't go as far down the track. Depends if you have any intentions of pulling nationally or just some local stuff mostly for fun and to impress the neighbors.

A good fuel and turbo setup will be at least $2000. Then you need water injection, etc.

Where do you find injectors and how can u get the right amount of fuel for 40# of boost

Check out my photos. I've been pulling an Allis 920 Diesel for 2 yrs now. Lombardini twin air-cooled 18 1/2 hp. I pull with 2 clubs one of which has a strictly twin-cylinder class. It took me two yrs of searching ebay to finally find a "twin" with respectable stock hp.

Either graft on a bosch A pump, send the cambox pump to Columbus Diesel Supply, or have a retired toolmaker make some new barrels and plungers and rework the pump camshaft.

Hey BigKrank thanks for the help with motors etc. got the tractor finished YouTube - Rob Boyes - 1250LB Class - Walkerton, ON :thumbsup:

Looks like you are at a power level that will be easy on your wallet and have some fun also.

When you get into big boost and heat levels, the 30 mph plus tire speeds are fun but you spend a lot of time fixing also. We were pulling pistons out sometimes twice a week until we figured a lot of things out. Enjoy.

We have been working for 3 years to get a diesel class started. Been pulling for 2 years with a diesel, about 12 with various gas engines. There are a number of tractors running and being built now. In Columbus, Ohio in January there will be a big indoor pull where a lot of them from across the country will pull.

We use a Cub 582 frame and built a D1105 Kubota 24hp 3 cyl engine making around 100hp now. We have a machine shop and build these and parts for these. Actually the economy has helped us because we are getting pullers who have pulled the big ones and look at these and say it's cheap because for the price of two turbos they can have one of these little tractors. Some guys we do work for run one of these and a big super stocker.

100hp wow, I'm trying to squeeze 30 out of my Deutz-alis 5215 (18hp) and tips.

hey guys im looking at a kubota D950 at our local guy and its completely stock and my club rules dont allow turbo and such but we can do other things too! im olanning on not spending alot of money and maybe one day ill run a turbo and run NQS.
i was wondering how much work would it to take to put it in a 682 wide frame cub? and what gears should i run? im gonna run a 26-12-12 tires.
would it fit in my cub? i got a welder to do anything so i need some feed backa and i may post a new thread of my build!
hes wanting 400 bucks for that engine and i think its a good deal!
