New member with a 1948 Cub

[Farmboy79]

I bought my Dad's 1948 Cub from my uncle who purchased it when my Dad passed. It has been stored at a friend's place but now it is at my home. I have several hundred hours mowing our orchard in my youth on this machine. No longer young I am retired but still working on machines older than I for fun.

Welcome to the Forum! Glad to hear you got your family Cub.

Take some time and read through a few threads to acquaint yourself with the Forum:

• Welcome Wagon
• How to Upload Pictures to a Post
• Forum Picture Posting And Other Interesting Things You Can Do
• Using the Forum

Don't know if you have any of the manuals to your Cub, but after your 2nd post on the Forum, you'll have access to the all the PDF Manuals on this site. There’s a few ways to do that:

• From a desktop or laptop, go to "Quick Links" in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit that and a pull-down appears where you'll find "PDF Manuals".
• You can also go to “Cub Info” in the upper toolbar, then hit “Rudi’s Manuals”. From there, you can access a variety of information.
• If you're using a phone, go to the "Links Directory" (second category down the main page). Once in "Links Directory" , scroll down to the second section "Tractor Parts & Manuals" and you'll find them there.

You'll be able to download an Owner's Manual (very strongly recommended) and any service manuals that interest you. Implement Manuals are also available.

We’d encourage you to take the Safety Test located in the Safety Forum: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=68084

Might also enjoy reading through this thread (even though it’s for a Cub, much can be applied to any tractor just brought home): What to do with a Cub you just brought home

There are a lot of good threads dealing with Cub repair and maintenance in the How To Forum. Located here: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11

Take some pictures of your Cub and post them, we’d like to see it.

Remember:
• When you have a specific question, start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
• Before posting, use the Preview button before hitting Submit--it'll show you exactly what your post will look like, including pictures.
• When adding your comments to a thread, be sure to look at the date of the last poster. If it’s more than a 6 months old, the posters are probably not going to see it. Consider starting a new thread.

Glad you joined us.

I am a little surprised there aren't many of us. There are quite a few Cubs in the northwest I've seen including many still doing farm work. I will be working through the fluid changes and checks, my uncle painted, replaced tires, fixed the radiator, plug wires, cap, rotor, plugs etc.. so she runs good and looks good. I do need to drain and clean the fuel system as the gas is pretty old and also the gear oil needs replacement. It still has the side mower also but no hydraulics so you get to pull the big lever arm.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
