New member in RI

Hi all, I'm Richard, This is a late intro since I've became a member in October. I've got lots of great help on this site and I'm getting the hang of it now. I'm NOT a farmer in the least bit, I'm cabinet make / finish carpenter by trade and I love it. I joined this site when I got my 53 Cub. See my wife and I bought the my wifes childhood house after her father passed away 2 years ago. While cleaning up the overgrown yard, I came across a 1953 Cub in the woods. It had been over taken with vines and had trees growing through it. After a search for the rightful owner, it turned out to be Debs (my wife) uncle who in turn gave it to me. I got it running now and my plan is to work this land back into the farm my farther-in-law once had. Not being a farmer I planted grass over the whole 9000 sq. ft. garden last year. We had a small 600 sq. ft. garden that we loved, ton of vegies from it. I all ready have my fast hitch, my plow, my sickle bar mower and I'm going to get a dick harrow next. Sorry if this was more info they you needed or wanted, but like I said "I'm new at this"
Well that's my story,
Thanks for reading
Richard

Don't apologize, that's a great story! We all wish we could tell one just like it. Enjoy your new farm and your Cub!

Welcome to the forum Richard

Welcome to the Forum, Richard! Missed you back in October, so you’ll get the whole shabang now.

If you haven’t already, 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 now 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

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.
