That puts the 63 in Feb., 10 tractors from the first one. Dad's birthday was Feb 3. Was made on or very near his birthday! They only built 120 units that month, just 4 a day average, but probably all made in a single run. BTW we had a truck at work whose wheels were made on Friday the 13th. That truck never was right. Thanks, Barnyard.

I am grateful for the information. The rate of building Cubs in 1949 was simply incredible.

Let's find 'em all!!
Actually, the WHS has daily production lists for June and July of 1951. Somehow these records were saved/found, so you never know. :wink:

Those 2 months account for about 3200 tractors. I've never spotted one, other than the 2 reported in the YT database.

First time poster. Just bought a Farmall Cub. Was told it was a 48 but it appears to be a Dec. 47. The SN is 937X, but that seems to be a big jump from Dec 47 until Jan. 48. Would this be typical to make the annualized quota?

Thanks, Mike

Look at the serial numbers listed for early 1948. The "big jump" in December '47 indicates a number built similar to the number in each of the first few months of '48.

hey there, very nice table. I found the chart while looking for the month of production of my cub, which i thought was a 53 but is in fact a 52, thank you for that! so when i went to look at the months i see something funny happening summertime of 52... May, june, and july are fine, but then august jumps back 500 numbers... is that right? I went to the Wisconsin historical page and looked but couldn't find the source there... Any guidance would be appreciated, i'm 159,xxx. Thanks!

That was a typo on my part. I went back and looked at the production reports and it should have been 158513, not 153513. I corrected it.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Thanks Barnyard! That "at a glance" format is really nice!

Thanks much. My '57 was apparently built very late in June.
