Tractor Poor

Postby ffgonzo » Tue Sep 16, 2008 10:14 am

Hello,

A little about myself, my name is Jim and I live in a small town in Mid Michigan. I have a beautiful and very understanding wife and two lovely, but crazy little girls. I am a full time employee for the Michigan Army National Guards, which takes a lot of time away from home, a part time Firefighter and I would have to say a part time Hobby Farmer with all the animals we own, I needed something to keep my kids busy.

I am new to these things they call tractors. I was looking for a trailer in March of this year and found one that came with a 1946 "A". The deal was so good I could not turn it down. Since then I have aquired another 1946 "A" and a 1948 Cub. Well I would have to say that my wife aquired the Cub, she drove by it one day and the next day we owned our first Cub. So I would have to guess that the Red Fever bug has bite us hard. We have purchased 3 tractors in less than 5 months. I have my hands full.

Thanks for the forum, I am looking forward to the good times.

Jim

Jim, welcome to the forum. :D

I think that you will find that, not only can you get good information on your Cub here, but on your A's as well.

Jim:

Here is some information to help you with your wife's purchase :big smile:

Rudi wrote:Image to Farmallcub.com :big smile: Forum Family. And you have come to the right place for all things Cub related. If you click on the Site Rules, Regulations, & Important Information, it will point you to :arrow: the Welcome Wagon wherein you will find links to many useful sites and topics. One of which is the Cub Manual Server where you will find a bunch of really useful links.


And for your A's .... on The Cub Manual Server has some limited A resources, and we are hoping eventually to have some more on the A and other Letter Series Manuals as well.

Congrats on your new acquistions :applause:
