Great tractor and pictures. A lot of commitment. I have so many questions. I would have preferred some captions or narrations in stead of the noise which I muted.

[@gerrywittenberg4348]

Enjoyed the video, muted the noise, would much rather listen to the machinery.

You guys did an awesome awesome job building that tractor 👍👍 not many guys are set up to build one from two frame rails!!! Nice job guys👊

[@RDC_Autosports]

only way to get that outa a cat is alcohol 😆 neat build kill the music

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

russell379x lol. I was wondering the fuel type too. Looked to have a distributor sooooo... it sure. Maybe meth? Alcohol ? If so. Man. I bet that thing is a beast.

Of all the legendary Cat engines that have been made. Really a 3208.

[@jimbo8v92]

My thoughts exactly lol....if they wanted a v8 cat they should have built up a 3408, but maybe its to heavy....impressive numbers they got out of one of those turds tho.

[@jameswest673]

@@jimbo8v92 there hanging weights on the front i assume there not worried about weight.

[@jimbo8v92]

@@jameswest673 i think some (or all) pulling class' have a weight restriction. being the motors not all the way up front if they ran a heavier engine they wouldn't be able to hang as much weight on the front to keep the nose down if it was needed.

[@kowboy.kez359]

I’d say the reason they didn’t go with a good ol 3408 is because depending on what class they are running the motor can’t exceed a demented cubic inch like 640ci . The 3408 is 1000cu while the 3208 is only 636ci. I want to do the same thing but with a 3306b instead of a 3406b once again because of the class I would be in. The 3306 is 641 while the 3406 is 893. It all depends on the class requirements.

Ruff stuff this is a crazy build i love it. All the comments about the music, so what. I didn't mind the music one bit. But a 3208 cat running a distributor awsome. As my Dad would say. ""Thats using your head for more than just a hat rack"" awesome keep it up

[@-DEATHSTROKE]

Also looked like maybe a water to meth or alcohol fueling setup, definitely cool if you ask me, and I couldn't give a shit about the music either honestly.

I have mixed feelings, I don’t like the fact that it’s gas, but it is sick as fuck that you had turned a 3208 cat into a gas engine, the time, effort and planning would be crazy! So 11/10, would root for that bad bitch if I were to see it pulling, good job!

[@alltheboost5363]

That's really interesting that it's got a distributor is that because it runs on alcohol now? Also do you have to add a throttle body? I didn't see one in any of the pictures but that doesn't mean it's not there. Awesome video wish it was more video explaining some of what you're doing.

[@kowboy.kez359]

It’s also interesting how it has a distributor but it’s a diesel

[@bermanss350]

No throttle body, it's still direct injection but the alcohol needs help getting lite when cold, after its warmed up and building boost it's running off it's own compression by that point

[@PullingTeamKaiser]

Nice Doku 👌👍

What kind of clutch do you use, is it a type like NHRA with controlled applied torque or is it like a standard triple plate.

[@2JZLS]

People need to chill about the music. Who cares if it isn’t your favourite new pop single or techno remix, everyone should be able to appreciate different genres. It’s like religion; you don’t strike someone down for believing in something, simply because you don’t want someone striking you down just because you believe in something.

Is there going to be a video made of this one tractor in action pulling or is there already one made I would love to see a video of it I have been to 1 tractor pull in my life and I loved it I am a kid from where there are lots of farm so I love all tractors but when it comes to these pulling tractors they are very impressive to see in action.

Yeah, they'll go over 400, but you need to O-Ring seal the heads ( gaskets ). Custom pump and about 32PSI off the turbo ...

@@billallen4793 not really I know the marine versions get up to about 400hp. My 3208’s are marine 320hp versions. I did find some billet turbo wheels that are supposed to fit in the stock turbos but I’m not sure what effect if any they would have.

[@bermanss350]

The 3208 is a sleeveless iron block, it's a throw away motor, there truly gutless in stock from unless you had a turbocharged one, in which case it didnt make it to 400k, it's doing the best thing it could be doing right here, getting rebuilt every 7 to 8 passes, it could last years this way

[@tomcline5631]

@@charlesyork9556 3208 is a good ass motor. If you use it right,not a 80,000 pound semi motor. Great in a grain truck ,a dumper with like a 12 yard box. Hell the best pumper I ever ran had a 3208 and a 1200 gal.per minute pump. Ran a nurse truck with a 3500 gal tank on it, with the same engine. People expect to much out of them, but for a 10 wheeler they are a great motor. Just got to remember, normally aspirated they only put out 200 to 250 horse. With a turbo,I think they were 300 horse. Never ran one with a turbo, myself,heard they didn't last long turbo charged. The tanker I drove had 550,000 miles on the clock,never rebuilt. We use one as an irragator motor on the farm I work at now. Will sit and run 12\18 hrs at 2100 rpms,and use less fuel and requires less maintenance than the 35,000 bucks JD purpose built motor we have. Just gotta use them as intended.

[@brocluno01]

@@tomcline5631 They did very well in marine applications. Water/water heat exchanger, water cooled exhaust manifolds and water cooled turbos. Anything over about 20 PSI off the turbo and you were doing head gaskets often. The fix is to O-Ring seal. In marine applications they can get close to 450 HP and run all day in sport fishing boats running off-shore.. All the BS about throw away motors is nonsense. But they are not the best BIG truck engine. It's all about thermal management. In trucks they get a lot of heat transfer back from non-cooled exhaust manifolds and turbos. Also in marine applications they get bumped to 2,850 governed speed. In go faster boats the can run 3,200 all day. The bottom ends stay alive, even at those speeds : )
