What Kind Of Wood Used on Cubs?

Postby Brandon Webb » Thu Dec 01, 2005 3:16 pm

Ok, I got my transmission all apart, hot tanked, and completely rebuilt. I was just wondering what kind of wood was in the bolt holes when these tractors came out new. It appears to be like cork, just wondering if anyone new what it was for sure. Thanks Brandon.

Allright, now where do you buy cork and how to get it into the bolt holes. I guess just make a plug and hammer it in? Thanks Brandon.

Old time hardware stores carry them but the best source is likely a hobby / craft shop.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Thanks for everyone's help. I originally bought some dowel rods from wal-mart, but I believe I will check with the craft stores and go the correct route. That would be easier also. Thanks Brandon.

After reading this post I was wondering why did IH use cork to protect the unused threaded holes rather than a threaded devise made from sheetmetal or something else. Not all holes are blind and the cork removal might be a FOD issue in some areas.

Hi Brandon. I bought a bunch of the cork plugs at the local hardware store. You can screw them into the holes till they're tight and trim them flush with a single edged razorblade. Rick

2. FOD is not an issue unless you're flying at 10,000 feet on your cub. :D

So what I hear you telling me is if a cork or part of one drops into the bell housing the cork is soft enough to just get ground up by the clutch and flywheel. Now after an emplement was mouted and then later removed was the cork supposed to be reinstalled ( I'm sure that never happened) or was this just a one time deal from the factory?

I just remembered that when I first got my Cub it had cork in many places still. I removed it all and threaded in bolts in all the unused places. I guess at the time I just wondered why anyone would have done such a silly thing cause of all the time and mess getting that cork out. I'm talking mid 90's now. That was before I was really interested in Cub's. Then it was just a tractor I used to get things done day to day.

The Cub below is Tyke, my '51. All the holes that originally had corks now have plugs cut from thick carpet pad with a gasket punch and to make them look realistic, covered by disks punched from gasket cork.

The plugs don't show from this distance, but David C forced me to use this picture with this particular attachment.. :D
