Farmall Cub

While helping me renew ole' Rusty, my dad caught the "cub bug" Look at what he bought today



I guess I know now what cub the cultivators are going under .

Guess anyone can get the Bug"" Looks Like a 47, Nice shape, Love the duck tape on the tire Jack

CB:

Nice to know that the itch is catchy

Looks like a nice tractor to start with. Is he going to use the cultivators manually or will you find a nice touch control to go on the Cub?

Tell your Dad, welcome to the family

Larry,

Does your Dad follow this group? If not... bring him aboard. We'd like to hear about the tiger in that Cub's tank. I know about it from the long throttle lever necessary to keep it under control.

Jack, the seller says its a '48...I'll know for sure once I double-check the serial #. The white on the tire is chalk marking a crack. It "sat-up" for a while, the tires went flat, and well...you know what happens to'em.

Rudi, we will keep the hand lift. I asked Dad today what he wanted to do with it as far as fixing it up. He said, "I want to go all the way"

George, I didn't notice the long lever...is there a story here

CB, even though it is already taken aoart, my cub is NOT a donor tractor

Heh Heh!!, John. I bet they really appreciate you going to the trouble of taking it apart for them. That old new-bought Cub wont take no time at all to get in fine shape with them having access to your "Handy" parts bin.

There must be a story, but we'll depend on you to find it.

John, you have no worries. Your cub will be at my house while dad's will be 7 miles to the north, at his house. I do wonder, what would happen if I accidently put some of "Miss B's" parts on your cub

Hey CB,

Glad to see that Mr. Bud is now a bonafied "CUBBER". I am sure you both will have many a happy hour working on it together. I am sure
that this means two (2) trailers to Cubarama this year!!!!

You might end up with a "B" CUB instead of an "F" CUB if you use parts
off Ms "B".

The 4 speed transmission would be an improvement, possibly the bigger engine?

Hey Russ,

Looks like I am going to be looking for a gooseneck trailer and Chevy HD

The trailer we have will haul two cubs....looks like my '55 Lo-Boy (Happy) and my 102 cub cadet will be staying home this year.

Hey C-B
If it was not a throw-away line and you are really looking for a Chevy HD, and looking new, holler, & I'll come up with a "GM in My Driveway" cert if you can convince a dealer you are a current owner of a non-GM vehicle.
GM is VERY big on 'conquest sales', so we have these certs to give to anyone who can use them.
Good for $1,000.00.
Current GM owners can claim brand loyalty and get discounts that way.
It would really be neat if you Good Samaritins could benefit from GMs promotion!
We builkd about 1,000 a day here at Ft. Wayne Assy. Don't currently build many HDs, but have built thousands.
Enjoy, and Thanks for thinking GM!

Larry in IN,

Thanks for the offer but, I bought my last new truck in 1996. I have owned four GM trucks since 1992. I currently have my eye on a used 2001 HD2500 4X4 crew cab. I could haul four cubs AND four cubbers

Dad and I are going to get his cub this morning. I'll post a pic of the event later tonight.

Enjoy, and Thanks for thinking GM!

Thanks for building a great product, here in America, (Canada too!)
It's all I've ever owned. 2001 Z71 Ex-cab currently. It'll pull a few cubs as well if you can get them on the trailer.
It also helps when one's father-in-law works for GM. (Generous Motors)
