For Cub-Bud

[Merlin]

I saw where you were going to work on John *.?-!.* 's Cub. If you need any donated small assorted parts for it, let me know because I am going to put my extra parts on e-bay as a lot and won't have any more parts after that.

Merlin, I appreciate the offer. I think I have most of it covered, except for oil seals. I have a few, but will be having to purchase more. I loaded about 1/2 of a parts cub onto my trailer, in addition to the one being repaired. Pretty good load on a single axle trailer.

Thanks Merlin

Oh, by the way, Dad bought a cub two weeks ago. It's a 1948 FCUB with handlift. We know we need the front steering gear housing (cracked, as usual) and maybe a replacement tool box and battery box with front cover. By chance, do you have any of these items and what items do you have to "git rid" of

The list of parts is too long to post, but they consist of a good block and another motor that may or may not run, hyd. blocks, torque tubes, transmission parts, radiator, bunches of rear axles, one nonadjustable front axle, one adjustable front axle, 3 rear rock shafts, 2 front rock shafts, 8 fenders with various dings and dents, etc.,etc., on and on. As for the radiator support, I have one left that has been welded many years ago but not in the water jacket. Its free, but I can't ship it. I really have 4, but 3 are absolutely no good. The only tool box I have is all rusted up also. No battery boxes.

Thanks....

Russ Leggitt and I will "double-teaming" John's cub. We are set to get it next Saturday. We are supposed to meet John at JP's. I'll keep everone posted on the progress.
