Strip everything off that will save weight. Oil bath air cleaner, PTO, battery box, lights, muffler, generator, fenders, ( now you are down to a basic parts tractor)
put an aluminum radiator in it, cut the stock drawbar to move the hitch point forward, and brace it off the PTO plate you had to install to cover up the hole where the PTO was at 17 inches. Put a K & N air filter on it.
Now you are ready to start on the motor, 450 block & head, stroked crank, overbore high comp pistons, reground cam, head work......( parts tractor less the engine now), Now it's tire cutting time...how many ponies you want??
Some places will let you pull, some won't, the places you can pull you will find competitors with much deeper pockets than yours, and also those who are just beginning to learn also.
It's fun...... don't get me wrong, I am not against it, just if you want to build a puller, go to quite a few pulls this summer, join a local puller club, find out the rules, ask around, try to find what other guys are running, what weight class & what they have to do between each class to get it weighed in correctlly, once you have a bit more "experience" you can figure what you want, and an idea of what it will cost. Many ponies can be squeezed out with very few modifications, that don't cost a lot, after that the prices really start to go up. I think you will find the advice above may come in handy.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!!
