Rare?
I was talking to an older guy up at napa the other day, he claims hes been around tons of IH tractors, he told me that my 48 is "special" because it has electric start and hydros, he claimed those wernt popular (at all) untill 50 or 51, not that its a huge deal, but were those rare on the early cubs?

Re: Rare?
Nothing really special about it. Most of my 48's have hydraulics and electric. I have one non electric.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Rare?
I have a 48 with hydraulics as well. According to the "Cub Registry" there are over 50 1948 F Cubs with hydraulics listed there (and that's just from members of this forum). So I don't think it's particularly rare.

Re: Rare?
It would actually be more "rare" to see one without electric start and hydraulics. When they were first offered in 1947, the cost to add those options was almost nothing, maybe $10 or $20 when the tractor was ordered, so most dealers just went ahead and only ordered them with those options.

Re: Rare?
About e only thing rare about a 48 would be one with this dash on it. There were only about 1,500 of these produced.

Re: Rare?
I have a 48 that came without hydraulics which I used that way till I started having arthritis problems a few years ago, and added them then. So far as I know it came with electric start though.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Maybe it's all relative? Farmall Cubs of any sort are rare here in Eastern Washington state, if you compare it to somewhere on the east coast. Maybe that's the way it was in MI?

I hand start my Cubs quite a bit, if I have a dead battery or just for fun. I refuse, however, to hand crank a tractor that I did not personally set the timing on. A well tuned and timed Cub will start easily and safely by hand cranking it.
