Hi all,
My wife and I just purchased a 1949 cub, that was going to auction. She (Scarlet) mowes pretty good, but needs some TLC. Looks like fun. Gloria and Dennis (sellers) with Alan and Lois (me & the wife).

Alan, welcome aboard. Nice looking cub and it's always nice to meet the cub families too! I hope you find the time you spend here enjoyable and educational.
I'm gonna beat Rudi to the punch and post his welcome speech for him. He's been busy lately working on articles so I'll try to save him some time:
First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met
Ok, so here is the spiel :
I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub.
Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These are intended to complement the businesses who support FarmallCub.com Website.
I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.
In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.
I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Welcome Alan, folks here are very helpful and friendly. Just jump right on in anytime! That's a Very Nice looking Cub you have there!
I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn,
knew nothing about her just the year she was born
I washed her and greased her and painted her red
Now she lives happily right here in my shed.

Wow!, what a lovely looking Tractor, to buy, it looks as if it's just come off the assembly line, great buy!
I'm a bit of a newby as well, you will not find a better bunch of guys and girls than on this very site! I'm rebuilding a CUB and the help given has been an absolute life saver, Thanks farmallcub.com !

WOW!
Wow! Thanks to all for the warm welcome! "Scarlet" does take a nice picture. She has a few leaks to tend to, a worn mower skid (why the right one was welded and not the left, no one is sure), and the steering is real loose. Not bad all around though.
Thanks again!

alan, welcome to the forum. You'll find some of the greatest people in the world on here. If you are up for a little trip the last weekend in September there is a Cu and cub Cadet only show in Fredericktown Mo. That is lots of fun. Will be several people form the board there also.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
