I like so many others, have fond memories of my childhood days and sitting on the strongest smartest lap of anyone I knew (my granddad) while he farmed his fields with a little red farmall cub tractor. I recently purchased a 61' according to the serial number and it has been a dream come true for me to finally own one.
I would like to say a very big thanks to all who have made this site and to Rudi for making all the information available that he has via the web. I have over the last 5 weeks used these sites and your postings to get my cub in decent running shape. I have overhauled the final drives, and worked out many bugs using all the postings, with the fuel system, timing, electrical, etc. and I could not have done it without all of you. So again I say thanks!
I managed yesterday to break up about an acre of ground using my 152 disk plow for a garden that we hope to plant soon, and I must say that it was very satisfying, not to mention just down right fun!
I am in no way a perfectionist, nor a purist, and neither is my cub. The seireial number shows a 61' like I said, and the hood is not. The truth be told I will probably never restore it to it's origianl condition, but it is still a cub. And I do plan to refurbish it. I see what all the attraction is to these little machines, they are just plain ole fun to own and operate.
I have met and dealt with some of the greatest and nicest folks since I bought my cub. Don Eicher, his wife and brother in law Jerry from DE Farmall Cubs, and Tom and Lynn from TM Tractor parts have all been a great help and pleasure, and to them I say a special thanks.
I own a 51 Ford 8N that has been completely restored, and a Kubota L3830 that I do most of the work with around the place, but I can honestly say this little red cub will be my pride and joy. I work two jobs and this is just what the doctor ordered for a great way to relieve stress.
I look forward to chatting with, and maybe meeting some more great folks because of such a great common interest.
Regards, and best wishes from Louisiana

Welcome to the forum. I guess you have already found most of the stuff.. You have been a busy one now haven't you
I am really glad that the manuals and all have been so useful. It is my passion, these Cubs and the info needed to keep em going. It is an addiction.
Now, I am going to post the welcome wagon, cause..
it will be a good quick reference for you. In the Cub Book of Knowledge there are the links to help you post pictures... and here they are:
[*] How To Do Neat Stuff in a Post! is a good first step, explains a lot. Then choose which host you wish to use. The CubFest Photo Host is the best choice in my opinion, however there are many out there.
Hope this helps.
