Looks like a Q tag on the ignition distributor also.

Maybe it was a test engine for distributor ignition before they went in to production. You may never know unless a previous owner can tell you something. Pretty cool, I would hate to part it out.

I would not part this one out, but not sure I would be able to restore it. I am not the one to know which parts are research parts and what is common. Are there any other cubs out there that has this type serial numbers that has not been destroyed.

"Q" serial numbers were assigned by project. Since this tractor has 2 of them, it suggests the tractor was a test mule for projects that were going on at about the same time. Date codes suggest that battery ignition may have already been on some models and this unit was testing the Cub specific advance curve. Maybe the Q number on the block is associated with some internal modifications they were considering to go along with the timing changes.

There was one other at Cubarama a few years back. It had some unusual parts on the transmission but others were missing. We couldn't figure out what they were supposed to do. It also had a different front end. I have lost track of that tractor.

I don't know if the starter was replaced or part of research, but it doesn't have a switch on the starter. There is a push button switch on the dash that looks like the ones used on the H's and M's. I have no way to talk with the owners from years past, so who knows.

That one is anybody's guess. My gut reaction is to say it was a previous owner mod. But since they were doing experimental work on the ignition, it is easy to imagine some other wiring changes as part of the project. How is the starter button mounted?

Here are a couple of pic that show the start switch. There is no sure way to know without the 1st owner knowledge.

Agreed, no way to know. It was nicely done, but nothing that couldn't be done with some basic hand tools and a drill.

Can you take a photo of the whole dash viewed from the operator's perspective to show all the items and their layout?

note the location of the on/off switch (aftermarket one so who knows if original location). What is that gauge on the dash? An hour meter? I noticed the light switch is the style with its own fuse which leads me to believe the push button might be original since its in the fuse holder location. It was installed in a neat manner and the hardware and look of the switch look pretty old.

How did you acquire the tractor? Maybe that person knows something.

The gauge is just an aftermarket ammeter, and as for the switch who knows. This tractor may have been tested for other things over several years, but there is no way to prove any of it. The previous owner could only tell me that he bought it near by in Tennessee. So I guess we can only compare it to other cubs and believe what we will. The parts with the Q serial numbers should be different in some way. I hope to have some time soon where maybe I can see what it would take to make it run.

The good news, the engine is not stuck. The bad news (so far) the starter does nothing. more to come.
