new cub owner....

Postby abodyjoe » Sat Mar 09, 2019 5:03 pm

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..

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! ;)
