The first garden tractor puller, nicknamed Geo, started with a John Deere 140 garden tractor and a trip to the salvage yard for a Geo Metro 3 cylinder car engine with only 4000 miles on it We removed the engine in the John Deere 140 garden tractor and the Geo engine was mounted ahead of the hydrostatic transmission. A gas peddle was installed so it could be driven just like a car. We converted the engine from fuel injection to a 4 barrel carburetor. Three single pipes were installed for the exhaust system so it could breath better. The engine ran about 6000 RPM. We used this tractor for garden tractor pulling. Needless to say, when running this tractor down the blacktop in a tractor pull the tires would be squealing the entire way. A clipart was made for us to use as our logo from a professional photograph taken of the Geo while it was still in use as a garden tractor puller. This video is of the 2nd "GEO", the engine was also installed in a John Deere 317 garden tractor and used as a garden tractor puller. Thanks to Start Woodworth for this video of the Geo from many years ago. All of Jim's older garden tractor pullers were destroyed in our shop fire in 2002.
