Lifting chain assembly on Cub-189 plow?

[ld]

Hello -

Can anyone post a good picture of the hardware used to attach the lifting chain to the beam on a Cub-189 plow? I'm missing some of the parts and also not sure about how they fit together. Have only one convex washer and don't know whether the one bushing I have is the right size either. Should it fit inside the convex washer, or should the outside diameter match the hole in the latch bar?

I have the reprint owner's manual and implement parts manuals but the pictures aren't that clear and my parts don't look like theirs either -

Thanks!

First, 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

Here is a pic from Tom's site at the url Jeff posted above. There are more pics there for you to look at.


The Cub Manual Server has a pretty good copy of the Cub-189 Two-Way Moldboard Plow Manual under the Cub Implements link. Most of these are scans of original manuals and are pretty clear.

You may want to also visit Binder Books at the link below.

Many of the Re-Print Manuals that you can buy on eBay and most of the CD's etc., are pretty much a rip off as the re-prints are usually photocopies and the CD's are pretty much ALL of what is available for FREE on the Cub Manual Server.. so please consult with the information that is listed on this site before you spend cash on less than great stuff on eBay.

Also, if you look at the Parts Manuals.. the CBI-1 Implement Parts Manual that deals with Implement for Regular Cubs and not the Fast Hitch. Fast Hitch Cubs use the CBI-2 series. You should be able to see the other parts available for this particular plow. The Owner's Manual and Setting up Manual also has a good parts selection in the later pages of the manual. Here is the Cub-189 Section.

In fact here is the page that you are looking for I would think from your description:


Ok, so here is the spiel :

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 pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:

JP Tractor Salvage
Ralph's Cubs
TM Tractor Parts

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 . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three 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.

Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well.

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