I try to be nice & look what I get

[Into Tractors]

Dave,
I don't know if I qualify as an expert, but I'm reasonably handy with working with images. I have friends at work who are experts. I'd like to take a shot at fixing this thing for you if that's alright with you. Ill send you a message with my email and my address and you can email me the file or send me a disk. Let me know.

Same here, I dabble with graphics as well when I have time. But my wife's cousin does some "Amazing" things.

She might be able to help? Not sure, but willing to give it a shot?

POST 501!!!
Ok, I had one color copy printed today. It defenately needs some work but I think it might come out ok. I will email it out to itllbejohn & see if photoshop can help. I also could see if someone with artistic skills can touch up the copy and then have it re-scanned it. I'll post a picture tomorrow so you can see which poster it is. It's much nicer than the two shown in the links posted by Trent M.
What we have to figure out is what wording is missing in a couple of spots.
It's really a cool poster & I'd hate to give up my quest. Also, who has a connection for color printing? The local Kinkos wants $60 per copy

So, now that I'm at 501, what is the next milestone? Having a post counts to match the serial numbers of our cubs
Thanks for everything guys!!!

I did some more work to it & had another copy made. Here it is so far (but not finished). I need to figure out what wording is missing.

My nephew is a manager for Kinko’s; he handles the professional printings such as team banners for NFL teams and other sports. If you’d like I can see if he would be willing to print some of these off, he can even enlarge them to life size Let me know and I’ll give him a call. He’s a graphics artist by trade so he may even be able to help in the restoration.

Dave, that poster looks like a picture of a Cub that is in one of the manuals we scanned for the PDF project?

I'll need to review them (Maybe someone else will pick up on which manual it's in) and see, but pretty sure I was that picture while doing the PDF project.

If so, we should be able to get the missing wording together?

I fixed your links up a little bit.

Wording:

clutch . single-
plate, 6 1/2-inch, dry-
disk, foot-operated
. . . smoothly trans-
mits engine power to
the load. You enjoy
smooth starts. . . no
grabbing and jerking.

timng gear train . hard-
ened-steel gears are helical
type for quiet operation. The
teeth are marked for quick
matching if the gears are re-
moved for engine overhaul.

Any other wording missing?

Look here, pages 6 and 7. You can deal with the apostrophe problem on your own.

Jim's the man, that's it I knew I saw it somewhere....

Dave, I have that picture both in JPG and within the PDF file.

I can email them to you if you'd like if that will help you out any?

Well with my 501st post coming up, I thought I'd try to do something nice for my new friends here. I bought a real nice origonal poster which is 24"x34". It's a colored cub rendering with cut away views showing gears & internal mechanical components & blocks of information all around it. I was planning on making color copies & giving them to all who have been so helpful over the past year & then selling the origonal back on ebay. I also thought I'd sell a few copies on ebay as well, just to cover costs.
Anyway, I received the origonal poster which was advertised as being in good shape aside of a couple of rips which could be taped from the back. I opened the roll & pieces fell out. I mean dozens of pieces. It looked like several of the large pieces were rolled up together & then the fragments were poured into the tube. What gets me is it was laminated in the picture on ebay & it looked great. He said he was going to remove it & roll it up for shipping because sending it as is would be too expensive. I called him early the next day to say keep it together & just put cardboard on each side & send it & I didn't mind the extra cost. He said he already took it apart & shipped it
It has now been put back together as well as it can be but some small pieces are still missing. I have it scanned onto a disc & I'm going to get a quote on getting a photoshop expert to fix it up. Does anyone here have good photoshop skills?
I'm wrestling with the costs involved & trying to figure out if it's worth it to continue.
I have contacted the seller (nameless for now) but you all know the name. I'll see what he does to resolve this. I wouldn't usually be bothered but the damn thing was expensive.
So, with all that said, I'll keep you posted

Dave know the one your talking about quite well. That sucks. I hope it works out for you.

I bought a couple of Cub items from Wengers a while back...one was a choke control rod and the other was a toolbox. The rod was ok but the toolbox was junk. They showed a picture of a good, solid toolbox but the one I received was rusted out badly. I won't make the mistake of buying from them again.
