I picked up an old wheel horse with the kohler engine all intact and running. It has the old k motor in it and would not take much to make a pulling tractor with. Have been looking for a place near me (Central Iowa) where IO could watch and join a club doing pulls.

I have two riding lawn mowers and want to transform one of them into a good racer. First one is a Toro LX500 with a Kohler courage 22 twin that has a mechanical CVT transmission, the other is a John Deere L100 Brigs and Stratton 17hp with a variable transmission. trying to do some research on which tractor would be a great build and I have some understanding that the Toro with the CVT would be best. I want to pull as much power as possible out of one to race.

I just bought me my first build, an old wheelhorse and was looking on where to start to begain my build. I was unloading it from the truck when it jumped the ramp and landed hard on the front-end snapping a tie rod end. Upon inspecing the broken wheel I noticed it was made from pot metal. So I need to build my front end first along with the frame. Any advice would help!
