I am going to build a V8 D17 puller this winter. Has anyone retained the PD with a higher hp application. It will be a mild big block Chev. I was also thinking of putting in a 3 speed auto and eliminating the PD. Trying to figure out if I want a long wheelbase with the auto trans configureation. There is a guy that pulls with us that has a Chev 350/ Allison auto out of a school bus in a 300 Farmall, and a 6 cyl
Ford mated to the torque tube on another 300 Farmall. The long tractor looks cool, but takes up precious space on the trailer. Brian ------------- 35WC on steel, B with belly mower, D17 puller, D15 Series II puller, D15 Series II with loader, 608 Lawn Tractor |

| Putting a D-19 PD that has one more disc in high and low range will help a lot. I did that in my 175 with a turbo in it. DrAllis is right, do not make too many rpms. |

| At 3000 rpms you may loose both legs. Could also loose 2 of something else. MACK |

| So what comes apart in the PD? Do the shims fly out or the keys on the little pins come off? Or housing split open? |

The PD is made of cast iron. The cast iron spinning around at Hi RPMs Will come apart(exploid). I would not want to turn one over 2800 at the most.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Have saw 190s explode when guys thought they could pull start them. MACK
