Circle Cubs and CTdave

[CTdave]

Well now here is something interesting. He is advertising it as a '48 but look at the decals! The regular hood decal would be correct for a "circle cub" & it sure looks origonal but what about the "circle cub" decal on the hood????
This could toss a whole new wrench into the big debate.

Pretty obviously repainted. What's with the stick in the starter rod?

Jim:

Here's a guess: This Cub has the short lever on the starter button and the stick is for leverage.

[Bob Grieb]

Maybe it's a pull starter

I think you are probably right. It is a short lever, probably combined with a failing switch.

Maybe it's a pull starter

But I do like this idea. Wrap a rope a few times around the PTO shaft and give it a pull.

I have a 48 Cub that appears fairly original. What is the "rare dash panel" mentioned by Barnyard? Anyone have a picture they could post? Thanks!!!

Artie, here is a pic of mine.


And here is what I know about it so far http://www.savethecub.com/dash.htm

And here is another thread on the subject Dash

A gentleman Podge met this week worked for McCormick in 1948 and recalls them using these for a very brief period and decided to go back to the long ear type until the short ear as we know came out.

Dave from my understanding, the hood decal on a Circle Cub would say McCormick-Deering Farmall. If that is true then the decal shown is not be the correct one for a Circle Cub. My guess is the owner placed that Circle decal on it. (Maybe around the time the stick was added to the starter rod)

Thanks Barnyard - That pic doesn't look like mine so I guess I don't have the rare dash panel! Thanks again!!!!
