Light Switch/Current Progress

Postby 1948FarmallCub » Thu Feb 09, 2006 11:23 pm

Hey guys, Wayne here and I got a question. Does anyone have a light switch for a 1948 cub that works and is in good shape that they would be willing to sell me? I have removed mine, which didnt work at all, outside was rusty and I cleaned it up as good as possible, and taken it apart and inside it looks like new. Now since its overhaul 2 of the four switch positions work and I ASSUME that they are high and low beams for my lights, and one is for the generator charging system and the other is off. If some one has its diagram that possibly would enable me to determine its issues, I would appreciate that. It is a square box with 2 fuse clips for one cylindrical fuse, and other screws for mounting wires, it has a small round part off to the side on the casting and I think its for the genorator but I dont know how to take it apart. Any suggestions are as always appreciated. In other news, its been about a week or two since I have gotten my cub runing and it has proved itself to be an excellent worker. I am clearing a 100' long by 50' wide area to farm in the woods, and it has done a great job by helping me drag the trees I've had to cut down. I have a john deere 140 :oops: that I have a power angle blade for which works well for removing brush and TONS of briar patches. Once I can come up with the money I will purchase a front blade for my cub which is Very Ready to relieve that green machine of its duty. :lol: I have also recently gone camping out in the woods, and took the cub along with 2 friends. It helped haul alot of gear and made a long journey a pleasent endevor. It is very clear to me now why all you guys love your cubs so much and I am very proud and thankful to now be a member of our cub family. Thanx again :wink: - Wayne

Wayne:

First, Image to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met :!: :D

All you will want to know on the Cub's electrical is contained in the Blue Ribbon Service Manuals... Electrical is the GSS-1012-Electrical Equipment.

That as well as Bob Melville's schematics, and Henry Chuavin articles should clear it all up for you. The genny question is in there too :!:

As for the blade, keep your eyes peeled both on our For Sale/Wanted forum and on eBay. You can find some good deals and if your timing is real good, at excellent prices..

Aside from that, you might want to check out our site sponsor's (and in no particular order except alphabetically)

JP Tractor Salvage
Ralph's Cubs
TM Tractor Parts

Again welcome to the family...

Ok, so here is the spiel Image:

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These are intended to complement the businesses who support FarmallCub.com Website.

I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's :?: . Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are two must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, Image to the Cub FamilyImage :D
