A mini diesel class would fun as hell. I was just talking with my father in-law the other day on this same subject.. My 3 year old and I attend a lot of pulls during the year and you can see the glimmer in his eye already. This mini diesel would make for a good starter class when he’s older. Why couldn't this compete with the mini modified class? Heck over seas their running a v-12 Allison in the mini class. Is their any other engine combinations aloud in the mini mod class? Maybe there is and I’m missing something. One way or another my kids going to cost me a lot of money down the road. It doesn’t help that his grandpa has an Unlimited Modified Tractor sitting in the shop as well.. |

There are a couple compact diesels that run in the mini modified class for the Keystone Tractor Pullers in pennsylvania. |

I am from Southwestern Ontario Canada and we run a mini modified diesel class in our club. These are a 2.3Litre engine max , water injection is allowed along with injection pump mod,s and injectors shimmed. No turbo restrictions run what you want . I run a 4D55 2.3Litre in mine, Strong motor pulls like jack the bear. other mod,s are done also. |

hi!
THe 9 inch might be a bit big. Isn't there a smaller Ford or Chevy one that came with 4 bangers cars? Like this one here, we had in the Opel Ascona: You could probably also go with a Suzuki LJ80 axle in combination with planetaries (MF 35 - cheap replacement parts from China). The Rabbit engine should be a TDI (direct injection, 1.9 liter) 90 hp - that's what most use here (out of Audi A4, VW Golf/Jetta/Passat/Beetle). As far as I know, some of those cars they were also sold in the US. Most here run direct drive, so you could go the cheap route and use a coupler only to do neutral - and no reverse gear. Those things are light enough so you can easily push them to the sled.... Floating Finish - the German Tractor Pulling Web Show and EU Live Streams: [www.youtube.com] |
Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors

A 7.25 inch toyota out of the pickups is the best. It has a third member like a 9 inch and has lots of ratios available. |

I really like this thread I just had one question why would you need planitaries on such a small puller? Or any puller if I can ask.. I am just a fan of pulling and tring to understand mechanic of it.. |
Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors
|
To keep it simple, using planetaries gears will make your trans-rearend mulitlple times stronger. Some of the compact guys even use them on the on the cub cadet rear ends and take the reduction gears off the front which will make those transmissions seven times stronger and they get a 3 to 1 reduction ratio in the planetaries which gives them a good range of gears to use. |
Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors

wondering
|
how is it coupled to the axles? splined coupled? welded? and also do they all use a chrome molly chassis or can a guy use 1" tubing? |
Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors
|
Your axles shafts are machined and welded to the the sun gear. Some use wedge frames some are tube and some are wide frame cub cadet. |

Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors

Does anyone know which is the best injector pump for vw 1.9 tdi tractor to make 600 hp at 9000 rpm? does anyone have one for sale?

Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors
|
My best guess would be a 4 cylinder A Pump. It has the same internals as the 6 cylinder pump and the pump shops have plenty of parts for them. |
Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors
|
9000 rpm is going to take some serious governor work and a lot of very good parts (engine and pump) to live up there. |

Why does it always seem they have more fun in Europe. These compacts look like fun. Wonder why you don't see more here in the US. |

Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors

My dad and I want to build a compact diesel pulling. We are thinking about buying a john Deere 400 for the frame and putting an old cub cadet rear end. But the john Deere 400 3 cyl yanmar is only 54 ci motor. What's the best motor to use closer to 70 cu in? I know the john Deere x740 come with a 3 cyl 68 cu in motor. Any ideas? I could use the help. |

Re: compact diesel mini pulling tractors

Check out Daddy's Lil Fawn on Youtube. He is located in Western Pa and will probably give you enough information on the tractor to get started. |

It looks like you're pulling a Diesel Garden Tractor instead of a Compact Diesel. A Garrett GT 12 should work well on your motor. Possibly a GT 15 if you have mods to engine. Watch buying overseas knock off chargers. Garrett is a little pricy but I'd say worth it. |
