8 and 3/4 rear in a riding mower

[barracudajohn]

Interesting application of an 8 and 3/4 rear. This is a tractor that I recently acquired, it is a Pennsylvania Panzer. An internet search tells me that the company used Chrysler rears for their tractors. Just wanted to post a picture.

That’s what you call a narrowed rear end!

 

[MoparMike1974]

Wow, that is cool. Not going to break that rear! Might even be a sure grip.

 

[Plymouth 65]

Now I know where the early dragsters got their rear ends! 65'

Does that have 8 3/4 car drums and brakes also wondering what bolt pattern it has?

Very cool.

You are going to want to put some wheelie bars on that super short dragster...

Very cool.

It has large drum brakes, and the drum has a locating pin that sticks through the rear wheel, so I believe that kind of drum was used in the late 50s into the early 60s.

More pics please. Very cool!

What year is the tractor? That may be the predecessor of the 8 3/4. They look similar but are different. First year for the 8 3/4 was 1957.

Chrysler had an 8 1/4 pumpkin b4 the 8 3/4. Kim

Talk about overkill, 8 3/4 sucking everything out of the engine just to turn it.

Better replace it with a Dana 60 !
Might blow out that 8.75 in tall grass !

Copar Panzer's My buddy has one. Named after COllege PARk Maryland. Some of my fellow East Coasters should have known that. Factory moved to Easton, MD, but never got as big as Cub Cadet or Snapper, etc.

Wow that is crazy. I have been told that the garden tractor pullers use the Mopar 7 1/4 axles.
