I don't know the ratios, and I doubt if they are published in any book, but in years past when the hot rod tractor pullers made a frankenstein tractor like you are proposing to do, they used a 3 speed manual car transmission and locked it into first gear. This provided enough gear reduction to allow the engine to run at high enough RPMs so it would actually make some power, without creating too much speed at the rear wheels. Also, in order to make enough room for both the car engine AND secondary transmission, the tractor chassis needed to be stretched out to nearly TWICE its original length, which pretty much rendered the tractor totally useless for anything BUT tractor pulling. Take a good look at the photo that someone posted, and pay attention to how much LENGTH has been added to just the hood, and then also note that the tractor DOES NOT have an auxiliary transmission, which would create the need for the tractor to be stretched out even further.
