what kind of parts do you have?

they are kind the opposite of a conventional clutch in that when the fingers are depressed they lock up the clutch. the assembly or housing is bolted to the crank and inside are seperator plates which all rotate with the crankshaft. Between the seperator plates are clutch discs which are splined onto the clutch hubs. There is a lot of contact area five 12 inch discs that kind of look like a bi

I just added a 5th disc to my wet clutch set-up on my JD 4430 this winter. After 4 years of pulling I saw no signs of wear on the clutch plate or the backing plate and could not tell the difference bewteen a new disc and the old discs in appearance or measurments. I have run 3000 rpm in 7th gear during that time and last season 7.5 gear. I wonder if the wet clutch helps keep the heat down since

In my opinion 3000 rpm and below tractors do not need a steel clutch assembly. I see by sascha's rules they allow 3200 rpm and have had no incidents in 20 years with stock flywheels. All tractors exceeding 15 mph should have a ROPS, wide front end and seat belt and air shut off. all tractors should have some form of wheelie bar.

I would agree you should have at least ROPS and a seat belt on 3000 rpm tractors, and a air shut off, wheelie bars and a wide front end. These are all basically because you can some serious speed up on these tractors and so not all 3000 rpms tractors need even that. if you are going fast you need more, but a stock tractor limited to 3000 rpm and going 4 mph in a speed limit class hardly needs a

lots of comedians on here... lol. your question is kind of vague but assuming you are talking about a hot farm kind of tractor with little modification I will say around 300 HP with just stock stuff and pump turned up with good running equipment and timing. With bigger charger and say a 400 cc pump you could go to 400 HP. at that point you are going to have clutch issues and head gasket issu

I believe stock pressure on a 4430 is 185 psi. so I imagine 200-210 would be a safe place to be. I have run 200 on mine for several years now

I agree with Wally. You need the 466 and the 55 is by far the best performer. a 500cc pump, 5x.020 or 5x.022 injectors, .093 lines, 32-34 degrees of timing, quad range transmission so you can shift, and you should be pretty good to go.

If you are under 26000 total weight of truck, trailer and load and are registered at or under 26K I do not see why you feel you need to have a DOT number.

Kevin that is a well written and informed input. Do you agree that if your GCWR is < 26,000 then you are excempt provided you are not commercial?

key thing in this thread is that we are talking two topics. goosenck haulers and big rig haulers. it would be so nice to just pay a fee and be down with either I guess. but the real thing is that even the DOT are not sure where goosencks fit when they are not commecial. they do lump the commercial goosenecks into the DOT laws but they are uncertain when faced with a non-commercial gooseneck h

In order for the DOT to require you to meet commercial requirements they must first prove that COMMERCE is taking place. In other words they must PROVE you are conducting business. Uncle Buck is correct in that if you tow a trailer registered over 10000 pounds AND you are conducting business and you cross state lines then you need to meet DOT requirements. If you are registered under 26000 GCWR

may want to read that once again. It is based on GCWR not GVWR. Meaning the total registered weight of the tow vehical, the trailer anf the load hauled on either or both. My tandem dually gooseneck is registered for 16000, my 3/4 ton 6.7 cummins is rated for 9900. thus I am 25,900 GCWR. Since my empty weight is around 13500, then I can haul about 12,400 on the trailer which has two 10000 p

you do not need a DOT number or anything associated with that if you are registered under 26000 pounds and weigh under 26000 gross with pickup, trailer and load. read the DOT manual. provided you are not a comercial operation. pulling is a hobby, not a business

thats the same thing the guy with the 6030 and 500 hp is saying about your 250 hp 4440. which brings me to a question. What class does a stock tractor pull in then? or don't they get to pull?

wow, this is a long lasting thread. nice to see the interest and concern. Most of the guys on here make good sensible statemets in my opinion. I think there are so many variables with the different brands and it is so hard to have a level playing field that a speed limit is the only workable and sensible way to have a stock class. You could put all on a dyno and work stock HP but even then s

no reason to get too cranked up about this stuff. we all pull cause we like it and there are really 2 or 3 different legitimate levels in the local pulling circuit. you got stock guys 4-6 mph, 10-14 mph turned up and tuned up and slightly enhanced, and then you got all out pullers running say 18-20 mph but not quite a limited pro. you have to have something separating them. ya cant run near r

I agree with most all the guys on here about trying to help keep stock STOCK. that being said I will stand by my statements that in my opinion the only way to help keep the field fair for stock guys is the speed limit. 4-6 mph max for any stock tractor regardless of weight. if you are going faster than that then you are not stock.

No one measures cubic inch and no one is an expert on the type of turbo or replacement turbo that all tractors came with and no one can prevent some one sending a stock turbo out and having it reworked to make big air but still appear stock. speed limit is the only way to go that is easy, quick, enforceable and fair to all

I would have to agree that a Dyno is not the best way to go. too cumbersome and too much room for error on the dyno operator. The speed limit is quick and easy to monitor. I understand that the faster the speed limit the more it favors higher hp tractors, so naturally a slow speed limit is needed for very stock tractors and a little faster for the hot stockers, etc.

In my opinion, you can get your clutch to hold around 450 horsepower. With your pump turned up you are probably in the 400 hp range. If you are pulling heavy, say 12000 or above you will have a real tough time keeping that clutch from slipping in a stock 2 disc set up. you can shim up the pressure to say 205 or 210 and hope it works but likey since it has slipped already you will need to repl
