Okay, this will sound dumb to those that already know but, how do you remove the hood on a 1949? The 184 lowboy just has 4 bolts that you remove along with gas and radiator cap and the whole hood slides up and off.
The 1949 looks as though the gas tank is the back end and all one piece (no hood over it). The front looks like I can just remove the screws up front and slide it forward and up. But, what about the lights? Just remove the wires and they stay with the hood or do they have to come off first? Thanks.
PS I looked through the service and ops manual but unless I missed something I didn't see anything about removing the hood.
I want to change the oil in the oil bath air cleaner and clean it out.

Re: Removing the hood?
Here's what I have to do to remove the hood on my '49 (from memory):
1. Drain gas tank.
2. Remove screws above instrument panel/gas tank support.
3. Remove screws at upper doglegs.
4. Remove or loosen screws to remove screen.
5. Remove radiator cap.
6. Remove mushroom air intake cap.
7. Remove muffler.
8. Disconnect wiring harness from clips at underside of gas tank and hood.
9. Disconnect wires to headlights and poke back into hood.
10. Disconnect gas tubing at gas sediment bowl.
Lifting up on hood near radiator, slip your fingers in the radiator hole, then place hand under gas tank and gently lift up to clear air intake and exhaust pipe. Place several 4x4 wood blocks on the ground and rest tank/hood on them to avoid damage to gas sediment bowl.
Think that's it, but probably forgot something.
BTW: the baling wire clip on the oil air bath may be moved so the cup can be removed without taking the hood off.
EDIT: Forgot to mention if you have upper radiator supports, there's bolts at each side of the radiator that will need to be removed.

In addition to that once you take the hood off, more often than not, you will have opened the proverbial "can of worms", or if you prefer, "Pandora's' box". It opens up the scenario of "since the hood is off I may as well...", (fill in the blank). Once the hood is off however it makes things much easier to get to. Have fun!

Re: Removing the hood?
Well, once I saw what Stanton was talking about, I just pulled the bottom oil cup off the air cleaner and cleaned that out real good and refilled and replaced. I had thought the whole air cleaner needed to come off but, that is not the case. Thank you Stanton.
Will Adjust valves tomorrow as the weather has started to be much milder than it was a month ago.

One thing you probably want to do "while you have the tank off" is check/add oil to the fan hub.
From page 19, Item 9 in the 1950 Owner's Manual under RUDI'S MANUALS above:

Re: Removing the hood?
While the hood is off...
Check oil level in fan bearing
Check condition and tightness of fan and gen/alt belts
Replace plugs and plug wires (if they need it)
Remove and clean the tube that runs from the engine to the air cleaner (it probably needs it)
Change the engine oil filter (and oil, if it needs it soon)
Clean the sediment bowl
All these things can be done with the hood on, but are easier with it off.

Re: Removing the hood?
Hi,
Here is info from the Cub owner's manual about removing the hood. The pic is on the 1st page, and the words are on the 2nd page.
Also info about cleaning the air cleaner from the 1949 Cub owner's manual. Click on the pics makes them bigger.

I have never yet done this. What is the function of the tube?

It acts as a crankcase vent. I bet my next paycheck it is stopped up. Clean mine out every year.

Lube the generator too. A few drops in the front and rear oil cups. Not too much- follow the instructions in Owner's Manual. If you don't have one, you can find complete pdfs you can save by browsing above in pdf manuals. I would read the maintenance section carefully and take care of everything that they recommend.
The distributor/mag have lube points
A little lube on the governor/throttle pivots won't hurt.
It is also a good time to clean the entire breather assembly.
If you have never adjusted the valves, here is your opportunity with easier access.

Hey Scott, it is always a good idea to start a new thread, because you will get more responses. This post that you are responding to is about 7 years old. But to answer your question, yes it is possible that the fan hub assembly was replaced by a newer aftermarket one with a sealed bearing.
