On my burnt Cub, I've gotten almost all of the removeable parts off. I next want to split the Cub, so I can get the pieces in the barn and off of the trailer (it won't roll!). Is there a preferred sequence to take it apart? I'm thinking that if I have it blocked up and take off the radiator bolster and then the rear drives I can then separate the transmission, main tube and engine. Does that sound right, or should I do it in another order?
Thanks, Bob

I don't think there is any one right answer to that question. It is just a matter of keeping the remaining large piece under control. I might go: front bolster, engine, right final drive, left final drive, platform/axle housing then bell housing.
After the engine is off, it might work well to lower it off of any blocking before continuing, and doing the same after each following step.

How far are you going to go with the tear down?

I was going to split the main castings apart and get a good look at the guts of a Cub, of which I've only had glimpses of. I've kind of learned as I went along because I'm not a mechanic. Because all the gaskets and seals are shot, I think it would be prohibitively expensive to rebuild. I'll keep what I want, upgrade my other tractors, and then how to sell on Ebay or whatever.
