Today we tore into our new-to-us pulling tractor… and it’s way worse than we expected.
What started as a simple rear-end teardown turned into uncovering major internal damage inside the axle housing. After some research, we learned the tractor actually uses a Minneapolis Moline rear axle, and the spare axle we were given when we bought the tractor is not even the right one.
After a ton of digging online, we finally tracked down the correct matching rear axle all the way in the Kansas City area, and we’ve already arranged to get it shipped to Tennessee so we can get this puller back on its feet.
In this video we:
✔️ Tear down the rear axle and inspect all the broken components
✔️ Show the exact parts that failed
✔️ Compare the wrong replacement axle vs. the correct Minneapolis Moline axle
✔️ Look over the turbo setup and the missing engine pieces
✔️ Make a plan to bring this pulling tractor back to life
This tractor build is going to be a challenge… but also one of the coolest projects we’ve taken on. Stay tuned as we rebuild it stronger than ever.
