Next step was dropping the frame rail, pulling the steering wheel and shaft, and the fuel tank.

Here is a pic of the stock motor out. We pulled it with the frame rails left in place. There was lots of room.  Kids had a blast

So I stripped the gleaner motor and pressure washed it. I ditched all the associated combine parts (started, flywheel, water pump, and had it down to just the basics. I looked everything over really well and took a lot of pics to reference later if need be. We first pulled the WD engine and set it off to the side. While I had the engine out I wanted to pull the hand clutch out and strip off all the other in needed parts. So I removed the hydraulic pump, hand clutch, PTO box, PTO gears and associated parts that held them in.  Here we are prepping to pull the motor. The kids were a huge help. It was so nice doing it with them.

I finished out the 2016 season on the stock motor and just flat out got my butt kicked every month. Once last winter came I pulled the tractor in the shop and started to tear down. My goal was to stop off all the unnecessary weight and put in the gleaner motor. I have a lot of pictures of the swap I will try to post a bunch of them but it is so slow uploading them. A big thanks goes out to everyone who posted in the past on this forum. I wouldn't have had the confidence to do the swap on my own.  So here it is in the shop starting to strip it down. I never tore into this tractor before but everything is extremely simple. I love working on it and teaching my boys along the way.

So Tha last 4 pulls of 2016 I ran the stock WD. I pulled 3500, 4000, 4500 and 5000 all in the antique class which is 3.5mph. The track I pull at is really grippy clay and I definitely didn't have the hp. I could spin out in 3500 and 4000 but ran out of power after that. So now I was trying to decide what to do. Build my motor up to 45 specs? Leave it stock.... Hmmm Well this is when I found this site. I did a lot or reading and found that the gleaner E was a good swap. I thought what are the chances of finding a decent E motor. A work friend of mine owns a combine salvage yard in upstate NY so I gave him a call. He just happened to have a gleaner E that came in (got drove in) last summer. I told him to pull the motor I would take it.

Another try at the hitch pic.  So this is the hitch we threw together the day before the pull and it's not the greatest. I am planning on redoing the hitch this winter to make it and the wheelie bars adjustable.

You can start saving your pictures into the file manager and posting them that way but eventually you will run out of room and have to delete to put in more. vgy.me has been suggested but I find it quite unuser friendly compared to photosucket. don't bother with photobucket as you will have to pay to have your pictures viewable, unless you only post a link to the album. decent looking tractor to start with. I found tires and hitch make the biggest gains, and then its tweaking and engine mods if you can afford it.

So with the help of a few friends we fabbed up some really basic wheelie bars and a hitch.
I didn't really know what I wanted in a hitch just that I wanted it short and as high as possible per the rules (18" high and 20" from the center of axle back)
This is the best picture I have of the hitch and bars.

So this is a long story but I will keep it short. When I was younger I went in on a 48 WD with a friend. We used the tractor for everything from skidding wood to brush hogging and making hay. I even took to a few stone boat and transfer sled pulls. I bought out his half and had the tractor for years. I ended up selling it off because I didn't use it much and didn't have a covered place to store it..... a few years later my buddy that I used to go to pulls with called and said he was taking his Super M to a local pull and I should come check it out. Well unfortunately I did and I just had to get back into pulling. So here is what I started with. Basically bone stock 48 WD IMG_20161114_054715.jpg
