Farmall Cub

Hello everyone, my name is Eddie from Mississauga, Ontario, in the cold country of Canada.
Have been reading your articles for some time and found then very helpful, especilally the owners manuals.
I have a 48 Cub, judged by the casting numbers, for about 5 years now. Use it up at the Muskoka cottage for cutting grass, hauling wood and pleasure rides.

Welcome Alwys glad to have somebody sign on for the first time.
Rudi will be along with the welcome wagon shortly.

Welcome aboard Eddie! As Bill said, it's great to see you guys come out of hiding and joining the fun.

Eddie: Glad that you are joining us. Dan

Welcome Eddie. Keep that snow and cold up there, ok. I'm ready for warm weather and sunshine

To Rick
You don't know what you are missing, nice, fresh, crisp air.
Tell you, the white stuff is not for sale, we keep it, we know how to burn it.
You like the heat, I like the cold, and you know why, if it's hot you take your shirt off, if it's getting hotter, you take more off, and if it's tooooo hot there is nothing left to take off.
On the contrary, if it's cold, colder or toooo cold, I still can pack on, see the difference.

Well, thank you all once again,

Eddie

see the difference

Ooh, you have a point. Guess I never looked at it that way

Maybe I need to move NORTH

Rick

yeah, and there is a limit ot how much people willing for me to take off.

Welcome to the forum

Advantages and disadvantages , I think it all depends on who is wearing the clothes.

Welcome!!!!!

Eddie:

First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met

I am originally from Timmins, and we have family in the Mississauga area (both sides of the family). Glad to have you aboard.. you won't find a better place on the net to commune with fellow Cub-a-holics. I see that you have been lurking, so glad to see you out of the weeds.....

Ok, so here is the spiel :

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub. One of the other projects we have been working on and it will be a continuing effort is the How To Article Archive. This the the place to go to get all the quick links to some very good articles written by many members of the forum on solving some of the problems we encounter as we repair, maintain and up-grade our Cubs. Keep looking for this to grow.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:

JP Tractor Salvage
Ralph's Cubs
TM Tractor Parts

I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well.

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

welcome cub dude
