Hi All,
I have seen different seats, grill colors, etc on the cubs posted here and around the web and I was wondering how I find out exactly how my cub is supposed to look. Any tips?

This should give you some idea. http://www.atis.net/CubFAQ/cub_faq.html#q13
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

You will find a clear, concise answer in the link provided by Barnyard. "White grill and hood sheet name plate background are believed to have been added during '56, probably at Farmall Cub 197825 and Lo-Boy 3772."

The pancake lights were correct for '55, except the rear light would be teardrop if the optional combo-light was installed.
Flat style sealed lamps were authorized 5/28/52 and probably didn't start to be used until close to '53, may have started at F165153 when the ground wire was added to the harness. 165153 was early '53.

Re: 1955 cub factory appearance
It also has a rear light but I don't know if that was added later. I'll post a better picture when I clean it up today or tomorrow.

That's a nice looking one.

Re: 1955 cub factory appearance
So the grill should definitely be red then? The white just looks so pretty, I'd have a hard time changing it.

Re: 1955 cub factory appearance
If you prefer the white grill, leave it white. You can paint your Cub green, but you'll really get a lot of grief if you do that.

Re: 1955 cub factory appearance
Hi,
Here is a picture from the Wisconsin Historical Society. It said these were new 1955 IH tractors. There's no white on the Cub then.
Like Bob said, you can leave the grille white, just showing how they originally were.
