Farmall Cub

Running full throttle in second when I hit a frozen in rock and the spring didn't trip. Quite a ride, the jolt raised the front wheels about 8 inches off the ground. I had noticed earlier that the adjustment was somewhat tight, and had been occasionally giving the tension nuts on the spring a shot of Kroil, planning to back them off some when I removed it in the spring. Guess I should have done it sooner. Just what I need, something else to work on.

ouch! I hope you had your seatbelt on.

That hurt just looking at it. Did you get cozy with the steering wheel?

John, I feel your pain, hopefully you didn't get hurt, sometimes those experiences can get you up close and personal with the steering wheel. Looks like that will be more than a 5 min. fix. Maybe you won't get any more snow till Dec. that will give you time to get it fixed. Good luck. Chuck

That looks rather painful. I am not happy to hear about your incident, but am glad to know that I am not the only one having problems.

JOHN YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME ON YOUR HANDS YOU'LL HAVE HER FIXED IN NO TIME
HOPE YOU DIDN'T GET HURT BUT I BET IT MADE YOUR EYES SPIN

I have been plowing snow for nearly 20 years with that cub, though not with that blade. I plow 3/4 to 1 mile of roads, and sometimes in 3rd gear, and have developed the habit of riding with my left foot about an inch above the clutch, and both hands with a good grip on the steering wheel, so no problems anywhere except the broken casting. I just took the front blade off and finished with the belly blade. Maybe I won't need to plow much more snow this year. guess I need to check with Ralph and JP for another torque tube, and then have my own Cubfest when it warms up. Looks like I better get some more Percoset.

John - that has the makings of a Woodson Ridge Cubfest project.

There is a guy in Villa Ridge Missouri that would have a torque tube if you were looking for something close. Hopefully that will not be all that bad to change. I had mine split today and it is back together and ready to plow snow again.

Double ouch!!!Wish we had snow here to plow.Sorry to see that busted casting.Kevin

I have a spare torque tube for you if Cub Express can get it to you.

Ditto on the ouches. I did learn a good lesson on that spring adjustment, though. I am sorry you are not down the road otherwise I would pitch in and your biggest worry would be arranging a comfortable chair to supervise.

I just pulled my torque tube today from my 77 so I can clean and strip it for paint. Big difference between a "want" and "HAVE" to do job though...

Glad to hear you are not hurt. Tractors are easier to fix than people.

Wow John glad you didn't hurt anything attached to your body. Great reason for a cubfest for sure. Spring is going to be here soon.

Yikes! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it'll be back in one running piece soon. Glad you're alright.

Looks like a good excuse to have a mini cub fest at Johns place? A good cause and a chance for John to show off his new "digs" If I lived closer I would help lead the charge.
