Hello,
Just joined from southern berks pa. Has anyone ever pulley swapped a 200 series or other with a variator to get a little more speed? How did it work out?

Thanks,
Kyledeere79

Which pulley are you wanting to swap out? The pulleys that drive the rear on the 100 and 200 series are the same.

I know the garden tractor pulling guys change the pulley on the crank shaft to get more and even less speed but thats on wheel horse or sears belt driven tractors. I'm not sure how that would work on a JD with a variator.

So on the same token here, does anone have any experience eliminate variator?
What belt would you need, how would the clutch work?

I could swap crankshaft or trans pulley...whichever one works out better. I need to pull a 6 x9 trailer with kids for Halloween. Houses are far apart so I'd love to get 12-15 mph and have no problem starting in 4th with loaded trailer. I can't think of a reason why it won't work. Seems like the perfect setup (variator) for that need

Try an adjustable shiv on the motor pulley but you made need to change belts up or down one size to compensate.
Good luck sounds like you have it already figured out

Very true Wolffang that’s a fact here in Pa.

I don't Kyle, Berks county is a bit to fast paced for me

Thanks for the advice. I need to get those kids as much candy as possible- that way I get more by mooching from them later.

I live south of reading, near maple grove raceway

My sister and mom live about a mile or so from Maple Grove. We can hear the cars running from the back porch.
