A big shout out to her brother Aron who worked with Hannah almost every day for the last several weeks to get the tractor ready. Hannah has turned into a pretty decent welder and has learned a ton about wiring, power transmission, and physics. When Aron took home the trophy in 2014 with this tractor it had a 12hp Kohler and heavy duty clutch. Thinking he was done with it, he sold the engine and clutch to a younger club member. Well, Hannah had other ideas earlier this year and decided it was high time to stop playing around with lawn mowers, roto tillers, etc. Time to go Big or go home!!!
Aron came up with a 16hp Onan twin from the early 70's that needed a few parts. With some re-engineering they were able to design a pulley and belt system to connect the engine to the input shaft of the Cub transmission. The Onan crankshaft sits about 6" above the transmission input shaft. (still a work in progress because there really isn't a clutch). No matter, the Cub transmission and Loboy finals came through!
) and knows she's all in.
