Hi, My name is Dennis Shonk and I use bear10 for a handle. I use that as a short name for my old dog that is no longer with me. His name was teddybear. I bought a cub about 3 weeks ago at a rummage sale(imagine that) Don't know a whole about tractors but I liked this little cub, it's a 49 and looked to be in pretty good shape. It has a belly mower that's on it now. a turning plow , a disk, harrow, cultivator, front blade, sickle bar mower, and rear wheel weights. I gave $2500 for it. Maybe too much as I didn't see the implements, and I still haven't as the guy had to go out of town. Will get them somewhere around July 8. I just completely rewired it as someone had switched the battery cables around and made it neg ground. The wiring was getting kinda cracked so just redid it. Sorry for such a long post.

Welcome to the forum, Dennis. Here you will find great people and more info than you can possibly imagine. Enjoy.
We live east of you in the Bakersfield area and we also have a '49 Cub, along with a couple other tractors.

I don't know where Bakersfield is, but I will look it up on the map.

Welcome aboard! Be sure to check the announcements page for a cubfest near you. Below my signature has details for the next DOcfest. Straight shot on interstate for you, but a little far. The one in Kansas might be closer and of course Cubarama.....

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on buying your first Cub. I have a '47 that was given me by my wife and daughter last year for Father's Day/birthday. I'm in Lone Jack, MO, SE of KC.
