so i'v wanted a farmall cub for years now.. had a 47 ford tractor that was cool but just not what i wanted. looked at a few farmall cubs and super a's and just didn't feel good about them.. i posted on a cub site and a guy from long island contacted me saying he re does a few a year. quoted me a real fair price in my opinion and went to work. refused to take a deposit. said if i backed out it would sell easily.. i called him in january i think it was. he delivered it to me first weekend in march since he was going to be in the area for a tractor auction that weekend, in the end it worked out pretty well..
its a 1948 farmall cub...some before and after pics below..
the one pic is from the 70's. my dad driving, me on his lap and my cousin on the back..

Re: new cub owner....
Very nice tractor and Welvome to the group.
I see you ended up with the second model of the grader blade made from 48-52 which is probably a correct match to your tractor. The one on the before pic is the first design a one year only and I’ll bet he decided to hang onto that one. I don’t blame him.
That’s a great pic of you with your dad. That’s probably one of the biggest reasons we end up with these tractors. It’s a link to childhood memories, good ones!
